"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.
