Funeral in Berlin

A most impressive book in which the tension, more like a chronic ache than a sharp stab of pain, never lets go.

Evening Standard

A ferociously cool fable.

New York Times

Len Deighton is the Flaubert of the contemporary thriller writers.

Michael Howard, Times Literary Supplement

The self-conscious cool of Deighton's writing has dated in the best way possible ... Stone-cold Cold War classic.

Toby Litt, The Guardian

Like lying back in a hot bath with a large malt whisky - absolute bliss.

Sunday Telegraph

Len Deighton's spy novels are so good they make me sad the Cold War is over.

Malcolm Gladwell

Deighton's fiction has stood the test of time. His habitually acerbic narrative voice still has much to say to contemporary readers ... Now a fresh generation have the chance to sample Deighton's wares as Penguin republishes many of his books.
