Len Deighton is the Flaubert of the contemporary thriller writers.
Deighton's best book ... an absorbingly exciting spy story that is also a fascinating exercise in might-have-been speculation.
They don't, as they say, write them like this anymore. You will be entertained, informed, thrilled and dazzled. Long may he, and his creations, live on.
Len Deighton was born in 1929 in London. He did his national service in the RAF, went to the Royal College of Art and designed many book jackets, including the original UK edition of Jack Kerouac's On the Road. The enormous success of his first spy novel, The IPCRESS File (1962), was repeated in a remarkable sequence of books over the following decades, charting the twists and turns of British history and the Cold War.
