Must have read this and everything else by Len Deighton and listened to James Lailey’s readings about a dozen times each, pure bliss... each time some new subtle detail becomes apparent... Constantly the big literary prizes go to authors I find dull and irrelevant yet a genius like Deighton who not only entertains but enlightened me on everything from post war German history to how to do office politics, goes unacknowledged... bleeding shame. If by some miracle Mr Deighton ever reads this; thank you, thank you, thank you... and please...one more?
