A ferociously cool fable.
A most impressive book in which the tension, more like a chronic ache than a sharp stab of pain, never lets go.
Like lying back in a hot bath with a large malt whisky - absolute bliss.
Len Deighton is the Flaubert of the contemporary thriller writers.
The self-conscious cool of Deighton's writing has dated in the best way possible ... Stone-cold Cold War classic.
