George Smiley had liked the man and now the man was dead. Suicide. But why?

Smiley had made it clear that the investigation – little more than a routine security check – was over and that the file on Fennan could be closed.
Next day, Fennan was dead with a note by his body saying his career was finished and he couldn’t go on. Why? Smiley was puzzled ...
