What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

Millions of pounds have gone missing, and the Department have sent agent Bernard Samson to Washington to track them down. But this mission is just the start of something far deeper and darker. It will take him from the English suburbs to Berlin, the South of France to Los Angeles and the heart of a maelstrom. In the first part of the Hook, Line and Sinker trilogy, friends become enemies, pursuer becomes victim and no one - not even Bernard himself - is above suspicion.

A BERNARD SAMSON NOVEL

'A master of fictional espionage' Daily Mail

Critics Review

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

Len Deighton is the Flaubert of the contemporary thriller writers.

Times Literary Supplement

Deighton’s outstanding achievement is the nine-volume series chronicling the life and times of Bernard Samson … Deighton’s Samson trilogies are as much about the elusiveness of human interactions as espionage. Spying is not a secret world sealed off from ordinary life but an extension of the world we all live in.
