Funeral in Berlin - Len Deighton

Deighton, Greene and John le Carré comprise the reigning triumvirate of fictional spymasters beside whom all others pale.-- Seattle Times In 1963, Berlin is dark and dangerous. Len Deighton's skilled, jaded, anony-mous hero of The IPCRESS File is now set to arrange the defection--and fake the death--of a leading Soviet scien-tist. A ferociously cool fable ( New York Times ) and one of the first novels written after the construction of the Berlin Wall, Funeral in Berlin revels in the fraught, chilling atmosphere of a divided city.
