About this title

Review:

‘In Deighton’s best books – like this one – the narrative glides forward on rollers, and the scenes and characters fit perfectly into place. The result is marvellous entertainment’
Independent

‘Vintage, treble-crossing, East-West intrigue ... written with Deighton’s usual punch and economy’
Daily Mail
