Summary
Long-awaited reissue of the final part of the classic spy trilogy, GAME, SET and MATCH, when the Berlin Wall divided not just a city but a world.

The spy who's in the clear doesn't exist...

Bernard Samson hoped they'd put Elvira Miller behind bars. She said she had been stupid, but it didn't cut any ice with Bernard. She was a KGB-trained agent and stupidity was no excuse.

There was one troubling thing about Mrs Miller's confession - something about two codewords where there should have been one. The finger of suspicion pointed straight back to London.

And that was where defector Erich Stinnes was locked up, refusing to say anything.

Bernard had got him to London; now he had to get him to talk...

Such a good book. The spy story is fascinating, but the real centerpiece of the novel is the protagonist's witty take on the world, and especially on class snobbery and the arrogance of the higher-ups in "the department." Written in 1983 before the fall of the Berlin Wall, it evokes a lost pre-internet, pre-cell phone world in which spycraft depended on quick wits and knowledge of how to read people and situations. Narrator is perfect.

Another great read as Deighton develops the story of Bernard Sampson, read by a great narrator who I really enjoy listening too.
