Book description
Long-awaited reissue of the first part of the classic spy trilogy,
GAME, SET and MATCH, when the Berlin Wall divided not just a city but a world.
East is East and West is West - and they meet in Berlin…
He was the best source the Department ever had, but now he desperately
wanted to come over the Wall. 'Brahms Four' was certain a high-ranking
mole was set to betray him. There was only one Englishman he trusted any
more: someone from the old days.
So they decided to put Bernard Samson back into the field after five
sedentary years of flying a desk.
The field is Berlin.
The game is as baffling, treacherous and lethal as ever… 'Deighton's
best novel to date - sharp, witty and sour, like Raymond Chandler
adapted to British gloom and the multiple betrayals of the private spy'
Observer
'Sheer consistent rightness page after page after page'
The Times
'Virtuoso top level performance'
Guardian
'A masterly performance, much the best thing Deighton has done since SS-GB'
