DescriptionBernard Samson, the quintessentially cool, cynical British Secret Service agent, is back in a new espionage trilogy: Spy Hook, Spy Line, and Spy Sinker . Once a field agent in the dangerous byways of Eastern Europe and now relegated to an administrative backwater at London Central, Samson has inadvertently come across some information about a huge financial scam that has erupted within the Service. Millions have disappeared, and Samson cannot resist pursuing it far beyond the tight perimeters of the official investigation. Zigzagging across two continents and drawing closer and closer to the heart of a mammoth scandal, Samson begins to question the behavior of the very people he's come to depend upon. He suspects that he may be on the trail of the most damaging breach of security the Service has ever suffered.
DescriptionIn this second book of Len Deighton's three-part spy series, British agent Bernard Samson is suffering the consequences of having meddled when he was instructed to steer clear.

When he is suddenly called back to London, with all charges dropped, Samson is unsurprised to learn that the strings attached to this promise of freedom could bind him for life. And when he is off-handedly given an assignment in Vienna, Samson realizes he has taken the first irreversible steps toward the center of a web of mystery and subterfuge even more complex, and more perilous, than he had feared.

Spy Sinker is the crescendo climax of the six previous best-selling novels by Len Deighton, and it ties them all together.
