have been told…
This reissue includes a foreword from the cover designer, Oscar-winning
filmmaker Arnold Schwartzman, and a brand new introduction by Len
Deighton, which offers a fascinating insight into the writing of the
story. 'A string of brilliantly mounted set-pieces… superbly laconic
wisecracks' The Times
'Like lying back in a hot bath with a large malt whisky - absolute
bliss… superbly combines violent action with a strong emotional
undertow. The plotting in Faith is masterly, the atmospheric
descriptions superb…' Sunday Telegraph Born in London, Len Deighton

recently elected him a Senior Fellow). While in New York City working as
a magazine illustrator he began writing his first novel, The Ipcress
File, which was published in 1962. He is now the author of more than
