About this title

Review:

‘You will be hooked from the first chapter and enjoy every line... The Berlin Wall may have tumbled, destroying overnight a whole spy cottage industry, but as the dust settles Len Deighton rises like the phoenix... a superb novel’
Bryan Forbes, Sunday Express

‘Moral ambiguity used to be called Greeneland. Since Graham Greene’s death, that territory is open for conquest. At least part of it ought to be renamed Deightonsville’
Time Magazine
