Now a new six part ITV drama starring Joe Cole, as iconic spy Harry Palmer, Lucy Boynton and Tom Hollander.

A high-ranking scientist has been kidnapped. A secret British intelligence agency must find out why. But as the quarry is pursued from grimy Soho to the other side of the world, what seemed a straightforward mission turns into something far more sinister. With its sardonic, cool, working-class hero, Len Deighton's sensational debut The IPCRESS File rewrote the spy thriller and became the defining novel of 1960's London.

'A stone-cold Cold War classic' Toby Litt, Guardian

'Changed the shape of the espionage thriller ... there is an infectious energy about this book which makes it a joy to read' Daily Telegraph

Eleştirmen yorumları

They don't, as they say, write them like this anymore. You will be entertained, informed, thrilled and dazzled. Long may he, and his creations, live on. (Jeremy Duns)
Len Deighton's spy novels are so good they make me sad the Cold War is over. (Malcolm Gladwell)
Deighton's fiction has stood the test of time. His habitually acerbic narrative voice still has much to say to contemporary readers ... Now a fresh generation have the chance to sample Deighton's wares as Penguin republishes many of his books. (Vanessa Thorpe)
The Ipcress File helped change the shape of the espionage thriller ... the prose is still as crisp and fresh as ever ... there is an infectious energy about this book which makes it a joy to read, or re-read.
The self-conscious cool of Deighton's writing has dated in the best way possible ... stone-cold Cold War classic. (Toby Litt)
To read it today is like taking a ride in a time machine, so accurate and astute are its evocations of its era ... Deighton knows how to pinch the ephemera that stick in our souls ... Never not a joy to read. It is also a book that changed the way we see the world. (Peter Millar)
The IPCRESS File has lost none of its nerve-tingling fascination ... [and] the pleasure of engaging with a master of his craft. (Barry Turner)
A wonderful mixture of the exciting and the amusingly humdrum ... James Bond may be thinner, but so is his dialogue. (Jake Kerridge)
Deighton is a fearless observer of the deceptive human world. (John Gray)
A dazzling performance. The verve and energy, the rattle of wit in the dialogue, the side-of-the-mouth comments, the evident pleasure taken in cocking a snook at the British spy story's upper-middle-class tradition - all these made it clear that a writer of remarkable talent in this field had appeared. (Julian Symons)

Just magnificent in every way. This has to be an essential read (or listen, if consumed as an audiobook.

I really enjoyed this having watched the film many years ago and James Lailey does a superb job of the narration.

The story unfolds as a great spy thriller and has you wanting for more but then to me kind of fisseled out at the end with a slightly unbelievable plot.

It's still a good book though and I really enjoyed it so don't regret the credit it cost.

Possibly Deighton's later efforts are more complete.

Good Story from Len Deightons. Great narration.

When you have seen the now icon film starring Michael Cane it's hard to believe that an audio book of the same story can be as gripping and as ground breaking as this one is. The pace, style and sheer coolness of this reading is more than equal to its ceiloid counterpart. James Lailey reading is immaculate as is the quality of the recording. This is a hugely entertaining and enjoyable book, I can't wait to hear more from Len Deightonn and James Lailey.

An amazing listen
