When the unnamed British agent in this story is sent to take custody of a defecting Russian scientist, his mission takes him to the Arab world and the Sahara desert as he is consistently foiled by a US Secret Service high-up. Loyalty is tested and never certain, as it becomes unclear as the novel develops who is actually chasing whom, and where the threat is coming from.

“The master at his peak.” – Daily Telegraph
LEN DEIGHTON (1929–2026) was one of Britain’s preeminent thriller writers, considered a defining voice of the genre alongside John Le Carré and Graham Greene. Known for his wit and his scrupulous research, Deighton wrote more than thirty books ranging from espionage, historical, and dystopian alternative fiction to brilliant nonfiction on the Second World War. Never out of print, with over 30 million copies sold and multiple adaptations for film and TV, his books have left an enduring mark on global culture, influencing everything from Motörhead to Quentin Tarantino.
