Praise for Spy Line

Spy Line is vigorous and sleazy, psychologically complex and action-packed. It is always exciting.

Daily Mail

This is vintage Deighton.

Sunday Times

No one can evoke the city of Berlin better than Deighton.

Sunday Telegraph

Deighton's outstanding achievement is the nine-volume series chronicling the life and times of Bernard Samson ... Deighton's Samson trilogies are as much about the elusiveness of human interactions as espionage. Spying is not a secret world sealed off from ordinary life but an extension of the world we all live in.
