Book
Spy Hook
Bernard Samson is asked to look into a large sum of money that has disappeared from the British intelligence service. The financial inquiry soon connects to old operations, internal factions and people who would prefer the missing funds to remain unexplained. Bernard’s damaged standing after Fiona’s defection makes him useful to some colleagues and expendable to others.
The search carries him back toward Europe and into questions the Service has tried to close. Deighton turns accounting irregularities into an espionage problem, using the missing money to expose how personal loyalties and institutional self-protection can survive long after an operation is officially finished.
