'The new crime and espionage series from Penguin Classics makes for a mouth-watering prospect' Daily TelegraphThe Second World War is over. Germany have won the battle. But the fight goes on...It is November 1941, nine months after the Nazis successfully invaded Britain. Churchill has been executed and the King imprisoned in the Tower of London. At Scotland Yard, renowned Detective Inspector Archer just tries to keep his head down. But when what seems a routine murder in a Mayfair flat leads him to something far deadlier, Archer becomes caught between his brutal superiors and the British resistance, and drawn into a plot that could change the future of the world.
Len Deighton (b. 1929) is a British author known for his spy novels, particularly his Harry Palmer series, which introduced a gritty, realistic take on espionage during the Cold War. His debut novel, The Ipcress File (1962), brought fame for its anti-hero protagonist and unglamorous portrayal of intelligence work, contrasting sharply with the suave image of spies like James Bond. Deighton's works, including Funeral in Berlin (1964) and SS-GB (1978), are characterized by intricate plots, wry humor, and deep political insight. His influence helped shape modern spy fiction with a focus on realism and moral ambiguity.
