Some foxing present

From Len Deighton comes a tense and emotionally charged Cold War thriller—the first book in the Hook, Line & Sinker trilogy within the Bernard Samson series.

Bernard Samson thought he knew where his loyalties lay—until his wife, Fiona, a fellow intelligence officer, defected to the Soviet Union.

Now, still working for British intelligence, Samson is pulled into a mission that forces him to confront the fallout of her betrayal. But nothing is straightforward in the world of espionage.

As he follows a trail of secrets, shifting alliances, and hidden motives, Samson begins to question everything—his work, his marriage, and even the truth behind Fiona’s defection.

In a world where deception is routine and trust is dangerous, every answer leads to more uncertainty.

Intelligent, layered, and deeply personal, this novel blends classic spy intrigue with emotional depth and psychological tension.
