Book SynopsisA BERNARD SAMSON NOVEL
''The master of espionage writing at his brilliant best'' Mail on Sunday
With the Cold War drawing to a close in the East, Bernard Samson is still haunted by the events that have turned his life upside down over the last ten years. But when he takes a train from Moscow to Berlin, he stumbles across a clue that may lead him to the truth at last - even though, in finding the answers, he could lose everything. Bringing the ''Faith, Hope and Charity'' trilogy, and Bernard Samson''s story, to a stunning conclusion, this final volume brilliantly shows the human cost of the spying game.
''The series represents a magnificent achievement in the field of espionage writing and Samson remains one of the great spies'' Irish Times
Trade ReviewHere is the master of espionage writing at his brilliant best. * Mail on Sunday *
Deighton's prose is tough, clean and compelling ... storytelling of this high quality will never go out of fashion. * Sunday Express *
Like the vintage Bentley, Deighton's prose runs extremely smoothly. * 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. -- John Gray * New Statesman *
