Over de auteur
Leonard Cyril Deighton, known as Len Deighton, is a British author. Deighton is considered one of the top three spy novelists of his time. In addition he is a highly acclaimed military historian, cookery writer, and graphic artist. The IPCRESS File, his first novel, was an instant bestseller and broke the mould of thriller writing. The Sunday Times called him “the poet of the spy story”.

Deighton’s interest in spy stories may have been partially inspired by the arrest of Anna Wolkoff, which he witnessed as an 11-year-old boy. Wolkoff, a British subject of Russian descent, was a German spy and next door neighbour of the Deightons. She was detained on 20 May 1940 and subsequently convicted of violating the Official Secrets Act for attempting to pass secret documents to the Germans.

Recensies
Deighton’s longest, most complex and passionate novel in years: an epic tale, set in a South American jungle, of good men and women crushed beneath the heel of Realpolitik’ Kirkus Review You will be hooked from the first chapter and enjoy every line… The Berlin Wall may have tumbled, destroying overnight a whole spy cottage industry, but as the dust settles Len Deighton rises like the phoenix… a superb novel’Bryan Forbes, Sunday Express Moral ambiguity used to be called Greeneland. Since Graham Greene’s death, that territory is open for conquest. At least part of it ought to be renamed
