Now on the shadowy East-West battlefield of Mexico City. British intelligence agent Bernard Samson must entice his opposite number, a disaffected KGB major, to take the final, dramatic step -- and defect.

But the price of one Russian's freedom must be paid in blood -- blood that Samson unexpectedly and incriminatingly finds on his own hands. On every side, he becomes dangerously enmeshed in an intricate web of suspicion and hatred. Yet how can he fight when he doesn't know where to find his most determined enemies -- or even who they are?

Berlin Game, Mexico Set, London Match:
Three spectacular thrillers featuring agent Bernard Samson.

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
