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.
