About this ebook
The long-awaited reissue of the final part of the classic spy trilogy, HOOK, LINE and SINKER, when the Berlin Wall divided not just a city but a world.
Bernard Samson is surrounded by puzzles and none more complex than Fiona, his wife and the mother of his children. But as a mystery, she is by no means alone. Can a man love two women at the same time? Can a man serve two masters?
Tessa Kosinski, Bernard's socialite sister-in-law, is not the 'other woman'. She is as faithful to Bernard and Fiona as she is unfaithful to her doting husband. But she is vulnerable, and slowly she is drawn from the bright lights of London to the murkiest and bizarre corners of Berlin.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great entry for the Samson novels. Unlike the other books in the series, this time Bernard Samson does not get to tell his version of events but instead we get to revisit familiar events but from a different (and possibly even contradictory) perspective... Well done!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Clears up a lot of things, but very sad.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5As the third in a trilogy I expected this novel to follow conventions and wrap things up for us with some explanation thrown in. Convention wasn't something Deighton was interested in apparently and as a result I'm not quite satisfied with the conclusion. Particularly I wanted the payoff; the vital information Fiona was supposed to give at her debriefing, I mean she ruined her life and her family's lives for this mission, I really wanted to know what was worth all that. I think in some ways this was the most interesting of the three novels because so much of what we were in the dark about was brought to light, but it also dragged a lot with vignettes into Fiona's personal life and emotional state throughout her mission. For me, this didn't add much to the picture because it was repetitive; she's conflicted, she thinks she's a bad mother, she's patriotic, she's stressed; yup, got it. In a way I'd like to go back and re-visit the first two books with the knowledge that I have now (especially the whole Harry Kennedy aspect) and maybe I will one day. The absolute cold, calculated way the DG and his minions (Rensselaer in particular ) manipulate and control people for even the slightest advantage was pretty shocking. Ruthless is not a strong enough word.
