Book description
The long-awaited reissue of the final part of the classic spy trilogy,
HOOK, LINE and SINKER, when the Berlin Wall divided not just a city but
a world.
Bernard Samson is surrounded by puzzles and none more complex than
Fiona, his wife and the mother of his children. But as a mystery, she is
by no means alone. Can a man love two women at the same time? Can a man
serve two masters?
Tessa Kosinski, Bernard's socialite sister-in-law, is not the 'other
woman'. She is as faithful to Bernard and Fiona as she is unfaithful to
her doting husband. But she is vulnerable, and slowly she is drawn from
the bright lights of London to the murkiest and bizarre corners of
Berlin. 'All done with the chilling competence we expect from Mr
Deighton… No padding, no slowing of pace, and writing is crisp and brutal'
Daily Telegraph
'Dazzling ingenuity and cleverness'
Independent
'A remarkable feat'
