Description
Hope by Len Deighton is the second gripping instalment in the masterfully crafted Faith, Hope and Charity trilogy, featuring the sharp-witted and battle-weary intelligence officer Bernard Samson. Set during the final, fraught days of the Cold War, as the Berlin Wall teeters and loyalties fracture, Deighton’s novel plunges readers into a shadowy world where espionage is as much about personal survival as it is about patriotism.
In Hope, Samson is reluctantly drawn back into the murky depths of British intelligence, where betrayals come from all directions and no one can be trusted. Between the dangerous assignments in East Germany and rural Poland and the political infighting at London Central, Samson must navigate not only professional hazards but the complicated entanglements of his personal life — torn between the two women who define his world. As the landscape of espionage shifts under his feet, the only thing Bernard can cling to is hope itself.
Perfect for readers of John le Carré and Charles Cumming, Hope is a superbly atmospheric spy thriller, blending emotional depth with the intricate plotting Deighton is renowned for.
