Beskrivning
'A stone-cold Cold War classic' Toby Litt, GuardianA high-ranking scientist has been kidnapped. A secret British intelligence agency must find out why. But as the quarry is pursued from grimy Soho to the other side of the world, what seemed a straightforward mission turns into something far more sinister. With its sardonic, cool, working-class hero, Len Deighton's sensational debut The IPCRESS File rewrote the spy thriller and became the defining novel of 1960's London.'Changed the shape of the espionage thriller ... there is an infectious energy about this book which makes it a joy to read' Daily Telegraph

  1. 2/5 Tomas H

    I got to know Deighton through the Bernard Samson series which I highly recommend. I somewhat foolishly purchased "The "Ipcress File" much later, unaware that this was his first book . It is obvously a first attempt. The plot is OK, but the characters are sketchy and caricaturized in the extreme. He was obvously working hard to adopt a "hard-boiled" style, which has gone overboard. The writing is infused with overworked, irrelevant and tedious details and references that are simply annoying. I found myself skipping large segments of text.
    It is if he was trying too much to impress the reader, rather than conveying something useful and readable.
    Skip this premature attempt and go to the Samson series instead
