Good condition – worn spine ends and tanned page edges, vintage 1976 hardcover.
An unnamed British agent, possibly the same reluctant hero from Deighton's classic The Ipcress File, is sent into the Sahara to secure the defection of a Soviet space scientist wanted by the West. Paired with a brash American intelligence officer, he escorts the defector out of Algeria, only to find the mission is far from over as a trail of danger follows them to New York, Paris and Dublin. Blending old-school Cold War tradecraft with sharp dialogue and a keen eye for place, Len Deighton delivers a classic slice of 1970s espionage fiction, tense, witty, and full of double-crosses, from one of the genre's defining writers.
