Great spy novel from one of the masters of the genre.
One of Britain's most reliable and valuable agents behind the Iron Curtain is urgently demanding safe passage to the West. It was fallen to Bernard Samson, himself once active in the field, to undertake the resuce. But before Bernard leaves London, he discovers there is a traitor amoung his colleagues--planted by Moscow.
Deighton at his "English" best. Good insight into what makes people tick...
Very enjoyable spy novel. The main character is more common joe than james bond. I recommend the whole series.
