      Not very well remembered, so not a good Deighton... set in the sahara, with the retrieval of a defector as the opening incident. I think it was written to tell the readers how bad a writer Ian Fleming was...

      [Twinkle Twinkle Little Spy] - Len Deighton ****Also released as 'To Catch a Falling Spy' this is my first book by the author. Set during the cold war we are introduced to the world of American and Soviet double agents, no one can be trusted and no situation is as it seems. We follow an unnamed British agent and Major Man as they pick up a defected soviet Russian scientist from the desert but can they keep the promises made and has he been entirely truthful?A thriller with plenty of action and numerous subplots using well developed characters, the kind of book where you have to follow the storyline carefully to fully understand what is going on. Recommended for fans Of jack Higgins or Ian Fleming, it has dated a little over the years but still stands the test of time. Will look out for more Deighton books.
    • 4/5
      I've read a couple of the books in the Secret Hero / Secret File / Harry Palmer series and this is the best one of those that I've read. It was enjoyable from start to finish with an aura of mystery as loyalties were tested and motivations exposed.It's essentially a buddy copy story rehashed into the spy genre with our protagonist teaming up with a CIA operative to bring out Professor Bekuv from Russia to assist in finding out who is leaking American scientific knowledge to Russia.Well worth a look if you've enjoyed some of Deighton's other works, can certainly be read as a stand alone novel without reading the prior books in the series.
