Len Deighton’s classic debut spy novel, later filmed with Michael Caine as Harry Palmer. This copy shows the iconic Raymond Hawkey photographic dust-jacket design (coffee cup, cigarette, paperclips, Smith & Wesson revolver and bullet). Interior includes a dedication page and a red “IMPERFECT BOOK SCRAP VALUE ONLY” stamp (publisher’s defect marking). Condition as photographed: jacket present with age toning and edge wear; boards under the jacket show typical handling. A collectible but imperfect example of this landmark Cold War thriller.
