Funeral in Berlin — Len Deighton

“Deighton, Greene and John le Carré comprise the reigning triumvirate of fictional spymasters beside whom all others pale.” -- Seattle Times

In 1963, Berlin is dark and dangerous. Len Deighton's skilled, jaded, anony­mous hero of The IPCRESS File is now set to arrange the defection -- and fake the death -- of a leading Soviet scien­tist. “A ferociously cool fable” (New York Times) and one of the first novels written after the construction of the Berlin Wall, Funeral in Berlin revels in the fraught, chilling atmosphere of a divided city.
