Publisher's summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Now a new six-part ITV drama starring Joe Cole, as iconic spy Harry Palmer, Lucy Boynton and Tom Hollander.

A high-ranking scientist has been kidnapped. A secret British intelligence agency must find out why. But as the quarry is pursued from grimy Soho to the other side of the world, what seemed a straightforward mission turns into something far more sinister. With its sardonic, cool, working-class hero, Len Deighton's sensational debut The IPCRESS File rewrote the spy thriller and became the defining novel of 1960s London.

An entrancing performance of a superb book

As a huge fan of Len Deighton, this one leaves me wanting more. I love the Harry Palmer character, Bernard Samson too in his series is not to be missed. Don't miss this one.
