From the inside dust jacket cover: "SPY SINKER is the crescendo climax of the six previous bestselling novels by Len Deighton-and it ties them all together.
Why, really, did Bernard Samson's wife, Fiona, disappear into East Berlin, leaving him with two young children and a wrecked career as a spy? How did it happen?
This, at last, is Fiona's story. We see how she was recruited by the KGB as a young Oxford student.

And then there is this charmning American who loves her..."
