'The plotting is masterly, the atmospheric descriptions superb ... absolute bliss'Sunday Telegraph
Summer 1987, the final years of the Cold War. Bernard Samson has been sent to East Germany to make contact with a KGB defector, codename VERDI, who claims to have access to top intelligence secrets. But something goes wrong, and Bernard must struggle to stay in the game. Fighting to keep his job and rebuild his shattered marriage, kept in the dark by London Central, he has no one he can trust, and nothing to depend on but his own faith. This is the first part of the 'Faith, Hope and Charity' trilogy.

Notă biografică
Len
Deightonwas
born
in
1929
in
London.
He
did
his
national
service
in
the
RAF,
went
to
the
Royal
College
of
Art
and
designed
many
book
jackets,
including
the
original
UK
edition
of
Jack
Kerouac'sOn
the
Road.
The
enormous
success
of
his
first
spy
novel,The
IPCRESS
File(1962),
was
repeated
in
a
remarkable
sequence
of
books
over
the
following
decades.
These
varied
from
historical
fiction
(Bomber,
perhaps
his
greatest
novel)
to
dystopian
alternative
fiction
(SS-GB)
and
a
number
of
brilliant
non-fiction
books
on
the
Second
World
War
(Fighter,
BlitzkriegandBlood,
Tears
and
Folly).
His spy novels chart the twists and turns of Britain and the Cold War in ways which now give them a unique flavour. They preserve a world in which Europe contains many dictatorships, in which the personal can be ruined by the ideological and where the horrors of the Second World War are buried under only a very thin layer of soil. Deighton's fascination with technology, his sense of humour and his brilliant evocation of time and place make him one of the key British espionage writers, alongside John Buchan, Eric Ambler, Ian Fleming and John Le Carré.

A string of brilliantly mounted set-pieces ... superbly laconic wisecracks.
Deighton's outstanding achievement is the nine-volume series chronicling the life and times of Bernard Samson ... Deighton's Samson trilogies are as much about the elusiveness of human interactions as espionage. Spying is not a secret world sealed off from ordinary life but an extension of the world we all live in.
The self-conscious cool of Deighton's writing has dated in the best way possible; bear in mind that the man was almost single-handedly responsible for brinfging coffee culture to the British Isles. Stone-cold Cold War classic.
