Bernard Samson is a spy on the run. But in the murky streets of Berlin, he knows where to hide. Wanted for an act of treachery he has not committed, he must not only escape the grasp of London Central but get to the bottom of a tangled conspiracy that is about to change everything. In the thrilling penultimate instalment of the Hook, Line and Sinker trilogy, Bernard's personal and professional life collide with devastating consequences.

continuing with the story of Bernard Samson and his defector wife Fiona, this book has a seriously dramatic conclusion that keep me on the edge of my seat..

I would strongly recommend the entire triple trilogy. Deighton is an astute observer of character and human motivation. These works have rightly been reissued as 'modern classics'. Indeed they are.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 October 2017

I suppose this is one of the lesser known Len Deighton "Harry Palmer" books, because it wasn't one of the filmed books with Michael Caine. I've just found out that there is a film version of it, made it 1976. I recognise a few names (Nicholas Parsons, Tessa Wyatt, Ciaran Madden) but not a film that had global impact

But if you love the other Harry Palmer books, and have read Horse out of Water as well as The IPCRESS File, Funeral In Berlin, and Billion Dollar Brain, then you will like this book, too.

The penultimate book in the series has a typical Deighton authentic feel. The only quibble would be his relationship with his children, which seems idealised considering how he abandons them so frequently.
I am a bit disappointed that this, like so many other Kindle conversions has so many grammatical errors. Even a pretty basic spell checker could pick out most of them.
I don't know why this series was never dramatised, I know there was a worthy TV adaptation of Berlin Game many years ago, but this series beats Tinker, Tailor... into a cocked hat. This is a bit dated in light of the collapse of communism, but some of us can still remember the feel.

Len Deighton - what a writer!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 May 2022

Len's three-times-three series of spy novels (written a good while ago) are superb. While I remember vaguely some of these books being turned into a TV series, both beats reading (and rereading) this master of this genre.

Looks ok as a book. But as it's the 3rd book in a trilogy, and as I have just started the 1st of that trilogy, I can't tell you anything you want to know just yet. But going by all the other books by this author, I'm sure it'll be a cracker.
