A BERNARD SAMSON NOVEL

"Spy Line is vigorous and sleazy, psychologically complex and action-packed. It is always exciting." - Daily Mail

"This is vintage Deighton." - Sunday Times

"No one can evoke the city of Berlin better than Deighton." - Sunday Telegraph

"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." - New Statesman
