# The Ipcress File: A Harry Palmer Novel - Paperback

[**Report copyright infringement**](https://reportcopyrightinfringement.com/)

by **Len Deighton** (Author)

A high-ranking scientist has been kidnapped, and a secret British intelligence agency has just recruited Deighton's iconic unnamed protagonist--later christened Harry Palmer--to find out why. His search begins in a grimy Soho club and brings him to the other side of the world. When he ends up amongst the Soviets in Beirut, what seemed a straightforward mission turns into something far more sinister.

With its sardonic, cool, working-class hero, Len Deighton's sensational debut and first bestseller _The IPCRESS_ File broke the mold of thriller writing and became the defining novel of 1960s London.
