About this title

Review:

‘As fresh and brisk as ever... a feast to be wallowed in’ Sunday Express

‘It speaks volumes for Deighton’s skill as a storyteller that, years after the Berlin Wall came down, he can still set the nerve-ends jangling with a thriller set in the Cold War... His sense of pace is extraordinary, as is his sense of mood’ Sunday Telegraph

From the Back Cover:

BERNARD SAMSON

Bernard is trying hard to readjust his life in the face of questions about his wife Fiona, and her defection to the East. Is she the brilliant high-flyer that her Department seems to think she is? Or is she a spent force, a wife and mother unwilling or unable to face her domestic responsibilities? Bernard doesn’t know but is determined to find out.

DICKY CRUYER

Bernard’s flamboyantly dressed boss Dicky is certainly not anxious to reveal what he knows, as he jostles for power with Fiona herself in London Central, and takes to the road with Bernard on a mysterious mission to Poland.

“As fresh and brisk as ever ... a feast to be wallowed in.”
