Long-awaited reissue of the second part of the classic spy trilogy, GAME, SET and MATCH, when the Berlin Wall divided not just a city but a world.

A lot of people had plans for Bernard Samson...

When they spotted Erich Stinnes in Mexico City, it was obvious that Bernard Samson was the right man to ‘enrol’ him. With his domestic life a shambles and his career heading towards disaster, Bernard needed to prove his reliability. and he knew Stinnes already - Bernard had been interrogated by him in East Berlin.

But Bernard risks being entangled in a lethal web of old loyalties and old betrayals.

All he knows for sure is that he has to get Erich Stinnes for London.

Who’s pulling the strings is another matter...

Review:

‘Deighton’s best... until the next’
Daily Mail

‘The poet of the spy story’
Sunday Times

‘A master of fictional espionage’
Daily Mail

‘Deighton is back in his original milieu, the bleak spy world of betrayers and betrayed’
Observer

‘Deighton is a marvel... few authors writing in the rigorous and finite genre of spy fiction have mastered the craft as well as Deighton... Mexico Set is a pure tale, told by an author at the height of his power’
Chicago Tribune
