What kind of woman would leave her husband,her children and her home to live behind the Iron Curtain and work for the KGB? From the brilliant Oxford graduate who understands the espionage game better than most of her male colleagues,to the beguiling woman who uses her charm and brains to deceive everyone around her,Fiona Samson presents a fascinating puzzle.In her relationship with her father,who wanted her to be a boy,and taught her the lifetime habits of secrecy,in her love for Bernard and her children,in the illicit affair with a mystery lover,or in her work for the KGB,we see her torn by conflicting and complex needs: driven by an ambition she cannot assuage,haunted by passions she dare not express. 'Spy Sinker' is a novel of many interlocking puzzles,for with the third person narrative comes a very different picture of characters we thought we knew so well from previous books:Bret Rensselaer,facing the breakup of his marriage,while secretly infatuated with Fiona. Werner Volkmann; Bernard has never doubted that he knew everything about his best friend.Nothing could be further from the truth.And as for Bernard himself - he is by no means the paragon his own accounts would have us believe,nor his girlfriend Gloria's view of him exactly what he imagines. Conceived from the beginning as one complex plot,Deighton's great saga ends,like 'Spy Line' (see my book IDs' rja701617 and rja814318), in 1987 when Fiona's mission is complete.As the curtain falls,Deighton invites us to assess for ourselves what the labyrinthine plot has cost in human terms for Bernie,Gloria,Bret,and most particularly,Fiona Samson herself - Deighton's first great female lead character. 'Berlin Game','Mexico Set' and 'London Match' together cover the period from Spring 1983 until Spring 1984. 'Winter' covers 1900 until 1945. 'Spy Hook' picks up the Bernard Samson story at the beginning of 1987 and 'Spy Line' continues it into the summer of that same year. 'Spy Sinker' starts in September 1977 and ends in summer 1987. The stories can be read in any order and each one is complete in itself.
