Perhaps the best writer of spy fiction in the English language John le Carre (David Cornwell) died today.

I had a brief correspondence with him ten years past and he was courteous enough to return with a handwritten letter.
I'll miss you John.

Already have an electronic copy for my Kindle .
I first began reading him around 1966. I am glad I wrote to tell him how much I appreciated his writing.
