Items related to Hungarian Game
Jacket Copy: The Hungarian Game is the most exciting espionage novel since the debuts of Len Deighton and John le Carré, and perhaps the first American book to equal the pace and suspense of those transatlantic masters of the genre. With its fascinating detail of espionage, its sudden flashes of violence, its cynicism, and its complex, gradually unfolded, breathtaking plot,The Hungarian Game takes its place, we believe, among the truly original and innovative espionage novels. From the first page to the last, it is one of those rare books that demand to be read in one sitting.
