A comprehensive online resource about writer Len Deighton

_{Welcome to the Deighton Dossier}

You're on the Internet's most comprehensive resource for information about British author Len Deighton.

Len Deighton’s is a world of secret spies and not-so secret betrayal; heroism in war and the battle of the sexes; big-time crooks and small-time villains; swinging sixties London and the drab uniformity of East Berlin. It's also a world of cuisine and gastronomy, military history and the terror of war.

This is a website about all this and more, found in the work of one of the world’s leading thriller and spy novel writers. A mini-renaissance of Len has followed Harper Collins's decision to re-issue his books with new introductions by the author.

2012 is also the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Len's first - and arguably most famous - book, The IPCRESS File. A number of articles will be posted up on this site.

This site - along with the accompanying blog - is still the only comprehensive and regularly updated website about Len Deighton on the Internet. It aims to be many things:

• A source of news about Len Deighton and his works, including an exclusive Q&A with him for this website.
• A fansite to bring together readers from around the world
• A homage to the author’s works, both familiar and unfamiliar
• A guide for the curious and a source of facts
• A guide for book collectors
• A source of links to other related web sites.
