There is a valedictory tone in this book that is not wholly caused by Ned's approaching retirement. The cold war is over, the old enemies have been replaced by glasnost and perestroika, and for Mr. le Carré himself it must have been a bizarre experience to see the raw material of his art disintegrate over the last few years. But the spies, we can be sure, will never be made redundant. At the end of the novel, decent, honorable Ned encounters a particularly nasty specimen of the new antagonists -- an utterly cynical and amoral British millionaire entrepreneur and arms dealer, and a knight, to boot. He is a perfect embodiment of the so-called market forces dogma of the Thatcher years in its most brutish form. "Now we had defeated Communism, we were going to have to set about defeating capitalism," Ned reflects. One senses a new foe emerging, new battles for the Circus to fight.

The Berlin Wall is toppled, the Iron Curtain swept aside. The Secret Pilgrim is Ned, a decent, loyal soldier of the Cold War, who has been in British Intelligence all his adult life. Now, approaching the end of his career, he is forced by the explosions of change to revisit his secret years. He illuminates the brave past and even braver present of George Smiley, his hero and mentor, who gives back to him the dangerous edge of memory that empowers him finally to frame the questions that have haunted him - and the world - for thirty years ...

Det får Ned att tänka tillbaks på sin egen inte alltid lyckade karriär. Till exempel när han var stationerad i Wien och fick ansvaret för en av de viktigaste spionkällorna in i Öststaterna. Eller kanske var han bara en bluff? Eller när Ned var stationerad i Hamburg och planerade en ”exfiltrering” från en baltstat. Men det gick inte riktigt som tänkt.
I sanningens tjänst är en suggestiv, mångfasetterad skildring av den hemlige agentens värld och dess osäkra lojaliteter. En bländande uppvisning, där le Carré på nytt överträffar sig själv.
