''Deighton at his best'' Evening Standard

Steve Champion - flamboyant businessman, former leader of an anti-Nazi network in the Second World War - is a man surrounded by mysteries. There are rumours he is still in the spying business.

The Department are nervous, so Champion''s oldest wartime ally is sent to the South of France to investigate. It''s time to re-open the file on yesterday''s spy, whatever the consequences.
