# The IPCRESS File

**'A stone-cold Cold War classic' Toby Litt, _Guardian_**

A 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_**
