'Deighton is a marvel ... a tale told by an author at the height of his power' Chicago Tribune

World-weary agent Bernard Samson is losing control of his personal and professional life. Sent to Mexico to aid the defection of a KGB agent to the West, he has a chance to prove his worth. Instead he is torn between conflicting loyalties, and lost in a maze of double-dealing and duplicity. The second novel in the Game, Set and Match trilogy is a gripping portrayal of a man who can trust no one, not even those closest to him.

Critics Review

  • Deighton is back in his original milieu, the bleak spy world of betrayers and betrayed.

    Observer

  • Deighton’s outstanding achievement is the nine-volume series chronicling the life and times of Bernard Samson … Deighton’s Samson trilogies are as much about the elusiveness of human interactions as espionage. Spying is not a secret world sealed off from ordinary life but an extension of the world we all live in.

    New Statesman

  • Deighton is a marvel … few authors writing in the rigorous and finite genre of spy fiction have mastered the craft as well as Deighton … Mexico Set is a pure tale, told by an author at the height of his power.

    Chicago Tribune

  • For sheer readability he has no peer.

    Evening Standard

  • Like lying back in a hot bath with a large malt whisky – absolute bliss.

    Sunday Telegraph

  • Len Deighton’s spy novels are so good they make me sad the Cold War is over.
