About this title

Review:

‘Superb... The secret of Spy Hook is its readability... Deighton is the inspiration for Le Carre and Forsyth and a master of his craft’

‘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
