Publisher's Summary:

Long-awaited reissue of the final part of the classic spy trilogy GAME, SET and MATCH when the Berlin Wall divided not just a city but a world. The spy who's in the clear doesn't exist...

Bernard Samson hoped they'd put Elvira Miller behind bars. She said she had been stupid, but it didn't cut any ice with Bernard. She was a KGB-trained agent and stupidity was no excuse. There was one troubling thing about Mrs Miller's confession - something about two codewords where there should have been one. The finger of suspicion pointed straight back to London. And that was where defector Erich Stinnes was locked up, refusing to say anything. Bernard had got him to London; now he had to get him to talk...

Critic Reviews:

"A master of fictional espionage" (Daily Mail)

"The poet of the spy story" (The Sunday Times

Members Reviews:

An uncanny ability to get inside the mind of the intelligence community

An exceptional novel, beautifully read by James Lailey. Len Deighton has a great understanding of human nature and motivation and has a remarkable gift for creating totally fascinating and thoroughly absorbing storylines. It's high time that the 20th century espionage novel, especially when written by the likes of Len Deighton, John le Carre and Edward Wilson, was accepted as a respected genre within the world of serious literary fiction.

The master of the spy story

Any additional comments?

My comments on Berlin Game apply to the whole series. If you like spy stories you will not be disappointed.

Absolutely gripping end to the trilogy

This is a fantastic tense intricate Cold War spy drama which brings a great trilogy to a close. Wonderful locations, more fantastic conversation and characters. You MUST listen to the other two books before though. Very very good. Onto the next!

I hate these books finishing

they are so well written. the narrator is the best I listen to and I listen to several books s month.

Super Cold War spy drama

This is the third book in the series (Game, Set, Match) and although it can be read without the earlier books I do recommend that they are read in the correct order to get the best from them.

I read these in the 80's and was a little doubtful about revisiting - the Berlin Wall is down and the Cold War run it course but they have stood the test of time.

Great characters, interesting story well crafted for a perfect narration. There is very limited repetition of information through the books and characters and story are developed with fresh material strengthening the characters with each book.

Some people die, some have affairs or fall in love but it does not rely on gratuitous sex or violence to sell books. Neither does the writing have an eye on the film rights - what a refreshing change!

Think La Carre, think quality, think Deighton.

Next series - Hook, Line, Sinker - already preparing to listen.
