At the request of an old war time colleague, George Smiley agrees to investigate the murder Stella Rode, a junion master's wife at Carne School - a boy's school. As Smiley investigates, he learns that Stella was a nosy busybody who loved to learn other's little secrets and then gossip about them - or possibly blackmail them.
