In light of Len Deighton's passing, here's a look at some of his best work (though his legacy extends far beyond this list): https://www.telegraph.co.uk/books/authors/len-deighton-best-novels/?ICID=continue_without_subscribing_reg_first

THE RELUCTANT SHERIFF is now available in paperback! "Offutt has built a world full of complex backstories, teased out through storytelling that should tempt a reader to go back to the beginning of the series and watch it all unfold.”—Irish Times

We are deeply saddened to share that Len Deighton has died at 97. Author of outstanding espionage novels like THE IPCRESS FILES and BOMBER, his distinct and subversive voice revolutionized modern spy fiction. He will be missed.
