Description
“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.” —The Independent
When the Department sends Bernard Samson to Washington to track down the million pounds that have just gone missing, it’s just the start of a far deeper and darker mission that takes him from the English suburbs to Berlin to the South of France to Los Angeles and the heart of a maelstrom. Friends become enemies, colleagues betray each other, and Bernard is about to face the biggest surprise of his life. In the brilliant first novel in Len Deighton’s Hook, Line, Sinker trilogy, no one is above suspicion–not even Bernard himself.
