Spy Line is the gripping second installment of Len Deighton’s classic Cold War spy trilogy, following Bernard Samson as he navigates a city divided by secrets and betrayal. Set in 1987, against the backdrop of a tense Berlin during the last years of the Cold War, Samson is a field agent trapped between two hostile sides, both eager to eliminate him. As the walls close in, he finds refuge in Berlin’s dark corners but is continually hunted by those who seek his life. Amidst this peril, a new and complicated relationship develops, adding emotional weight to an already dangerous existence. Samson must face a multitude of threats—personal and professional—and ultimately choose whom he can trust in a world where alliances are as shifting as the Berlin Wall itself.
