What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

A sunken U-Boat has lain undisturbed on the Atlantic ocean floor since the Second World War - until now. Inside its rusting hull, among the corpses of top-rank Nazis, lie secrets people will kill to obtain. The sequel to Len Deighton's game-changing debut The IPCRESS File, Horse Under Water sees its nameless, laconic narrator sent from fogbound London to the Algarve, where he must dive through layers of deceit in a place rotten with betrayals.

Critics Review

  • Lively, exciting, ingenious.

    Observer

  • Len Deighton’s spy novels are so good they make me sad the Cold War is over.

    Malcolm Gladwell

  • What raises Deighton’s genre to art is not only his absorbing characters but his metaphoric grace, droll wit, command of technical detail, and sure sense of place.

    Washington Post

  • Deighton’s fiction has stood the test of time. His habitually acerbic narrative voice still has much to say to contemporary readers … Now a fresh generation have the chance to sample Deighton’s wares as Penguin republishes many of his books.

    The Observer

  • Mr Deighton is really something special.

    Sunday Times

  • For sheer readability he has no peer.

    Evening Standard
