"Bernard Samson plods through a snow blizzard in Washington DC, and he's not enjoying it. Old pals are not as friendly, colleagues not so confiding as they used to be. Or so it seems to him. Things have not gone really well since his wife, Fiona, defected three years ago. It was a rejection on several levels, and Samson - tough, cynical and macho - finds rejection difficult to contend with. Now, after his trip to Washington, his life becomes even more perilous." 2. Spy Line - 316 pp, 1989, ISBN 0091737842. "Berlin-Kreuzberg: winter 1987. Throught the grey streets, the British Military Police are hunting for Bernard Samson. But Berlin, beloved city of his childhood, holds innumerable hiding places for a spy on the run. Only one thing is certain, that sooner or later Bernard's wife must make her next move. Fiona: defector, traitor, KGB agent, but still his wife; it is her startling reappearance which proves the turning point in this novel, exploding the action in a thousand different, unexpected directions." 3. Spy Sinker - 387 pp, 1990, ISBN 0091743206. "A novel of many interlocking puzzles, for with the third person narrative comes a very different picture of characters we thought we knew so well from previous books: Bret Rensselaer, facing the breakup of his marriage, while secretly infatuated with Fiona. Werner Volkmann; Bernard has never doubted that he knew everything about his best friend. Nothing could be further from the truth. And as for Bernard himself - he is by no means the paragon his own accounts would have us believe, nor is girlfriend Gloria's view of him exactly what he imagines. Conceived from the beginning as one complex plot, the saga ends in 1987 when Fiona's mission is complete. As the curtain falls, Deighton invites us to assess for ourselves what the labyrinthine plot has cost in human terms for Bernie, Gloria, Bret, and most particularly, Fiona Samson herself."
