About the Author
Bestselling British author Len Deighton is known for his complex, nuanced espionage thrillers, beginning with his very first novel, THE IPCRESS FILE. Along with his contemporary, John le Carré, who also started his career in the early 1960s, Len Deighton transformed the spy novel by writing about the ways in which espionage can not only change the course of history, but how it can affect the morality and personal lives of the individuals involved.
