In Len Deighton’s second novel of the classic spy trilogy, Faith, Hope, Charity, Bernard Samson is trying to readjust his life after his wife, Fiona, defected to the East.As the Berlin Wall begins to crumble, loyalties seem to change along with the freezing wind. Caught between his job and his ethics, his past and his future, and the two women he loves, Samson embarks on his most sensational mission yet – from rural Poland to London Central. In this intricately plotted novel of changing loyalties, deception, and danger, Bernard Samson is in top form. And he has only himself to depend on.

Praise for Hope:

“[A] remarkable series… the best of its kind ever created… Deighton’s genius is his ability to revisit the same incidents and settings . . . and recreate them from a fresh perspective. The humor is dry, and the violence, it occurs, very, very convincingly.”Minneapolis Star-Tribune

“Does not disappoint . . . Samson has the shrewdness and intelligence of James Bond… His instincts are razor-sharp . . . Deighton keeps the tension building at a steady pace. By story’s end, the reader’s pulse has quickened.”Associated Press

“Master espionage writer Len Deighton takes another sure-footed walk through territory trembling with uncertainty and change . . . Many will find this richly textured novel so absorbing they will want to pick the series up at the beginning and revel in each book.”The Washington Post Book World

“Terrific . . . Hope may restore your faith in spy novels.”New York Daily News
