The most famous spy thriller in the history of literature! Woven around the events of the Second World War, this 1978 novel brought the future author of "Filary Ziemi" fame and fortune, and secured him a comfortable seat at the top of the bestseller lists for the next 30 years. Honoured with the Edgar Award for Best Novel, the book remains one of the finest in the British writer's body of work, and its screen adaptation, starring Donald Sutherland, is already a classic of spy cinema. To date, around 10 million copies of the book have been sold. He is not a killing machine, and beneath the professional's veneer lies a human being. A man who is a spy. A man who is a German. A man who is a murderer. A man who is a lover. 1944. The Allies are preparing to invade. The Germans receive information from their spies that the landing will take place at Calais, and soon. What Hitler's intelligence service does not know is that most of their agents in Britain have been caught, and the reports arriving "from them" are part of a carefully planned disinformation operation, a deception the world had never seen before. Only one man has seen through the Allies' plan. A brilliant German spy code-named the Needle, trusted by the Führer himself, has proof that Hitler's advisers are wrong. If he manages to reach Berlin with it, he may prevent Germany's defeat. British intelligence mobilises all its forces to stop him. A whole country against one man. The unequal duel will end on a small island in the North Sea, where the odds even out and the Needle will face only an old man, a cripple and a woman… a beautiful woman. A gripping thriller, perfect in the smallest detail and built on a solid foundation of fact. "Sunday Times" An excellent, blood-curdling thriller with an intelligent and inventive plot, so frighteningly realistic that you simply cannot put it down. "Publishers Weekly" A spy novel of the highest quality! "The Baltimore Sun"
