reviewed on + 63 more book reviews


British agent Bernard Samson is back from his harrowing mission in Len Deighton's masterful novel SPY HOOK. Now, in SPY LINE, Samson is not rewarded for his extraordinary success; instead, he is inexplicably hunted as a traitor, forced to abandon his life, his job, his position, and plunge into hiding in the most dangerous and darkest corner of Berlin. What is happening? What has he done?

Nothing makes sense until Samson discovers that the Sercret Service has known all along where he is. In fact, they have never taken him off the payroll.

And now they are prepared to return his freedom--but there are strings attached, strings that begin to tighten around his neck even before his plane lands in Vienna...
