What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

It is 1941 and Germany has won the war. Britain is occupied, Churchill executed and the King imprisoned in the Tower of London. At Scotland Yard, Detective Inspector Archer tries to do his job and keep his head down. But when a body is found in a Mayfair flat, what at first appears to be a routine murder investigation sends him into a world of espionage, deceit and betrayal.

'Deighton's best book ... an absorbingly exciting spy story that is also a fascinating exercise in might-have-been speculation' The New York Times Book Review

'Len Deighton is the Flaubert of contemporary thriller writers ... this is much the way things would have turned out if the Germans had won' The Times Literary Supplement

Critics Review

  • Len Deighton is the Flaubert of the contemporary thriller writers.

    Times Literary Supplement

  • Deighton’s best book … an absorbingly exciting spy story that is also a fascinating exercise in might-have-been speculation.

    New York Times Book Review

  • Horrifyingly plausible.

    The Independent

  • They don’t, as they say, write them like this anymore. You will be entertained, informed, thrilled and dazzled. Long may he, and his creations, live on.

    The Guardian
