Deighton's detail and panache carry his plot

I liked this book but I think the plot was a bit hard to accept at points. I very much enjoy Deighton's authorial voice for his nameless protagonist and this made it quite enjoyable for me. I find his writing style very appealing. But the plot of this particular story wasn't entirely convincing.

good not great

A good book but difficult to follow at times,I wanted light recreational reading but this seemed almost like a textbook at times,worth reading but not his best.
