This 1st edition hardcover book, published by Jonathan Cape, is a must-have for collectors of original works. 

Fourth novel in Deighton's seedy cold war exploits of his first person, un-named M16 spy.

Interesting counterpoint to Fleming's flamboyant by comparison Bond, Deighton's creation went on to feature in a series of swinging 60's film versions, starring the great Michael Caine as the now named "Harry Palmer".

I neat copy; an asset to any fiction collector's Cold War canon.
