London Match

First Edition

A superb new novel of espionage.  A thriller so rich in the pleasures of character, suspense, and dramatic action that it will stand as one of Len Deighton's finest.

London Match projects the startling, conclusive round in the game of defection that opened, in Deighton's best-selling Berlin Game, with the unmasking of a traitor at the highest level of British intelligence . . . and that resumed -- intensified -- in Mexico Set, with agent Bernard Samson enrolling his Soviet opposite number.  Now the game reaches a new level of urgency and excitement when it becomes apparent that treason is epidemic in London Central . . .

As the novel moves between England and Berlin (both East and West), from the tense conference rooms in which the senior staff indulge their bitter rivalries to the desolate streets on either side of the Wall -- the chosen gameboard for this murderous contest between London and Moscow -- the surprises multiply, the suspense mounts.  And as a cloud of suspicion passes over each senior agent, as each falls helplessly into Moscow Centre's brilliant, complex trap, London Match rushes toward its amazing climax:  the ultimate, decisive confrontation between Samson and the British KGB agent who, from the very beginning, has held Samson's entire life in delicate imbalance.
