“A stunning spy story… incomparable.” – The Guardian It’s 1979, and a group of former SS officers are devising a plan to seize power in West Germany. XPD is a brilliant novel constructed around a supposition that Churchill secretly met with Hitler in 1940 to discuss terms of a British surrender. British agent Boyd Stuart is intent on preventing those wartime documents from becoming public. XPD – short for “expedient demise,” the code used by the Secret Intelligence Service to refer to the assassinations it carries out – is another stunning novel from Len Deighton.

So when he hears an eminent author is writing his biography, Stone siezes the chance of immortality. But painful memories and suppressed scandals soon threaten to destroy the carefully-constructed fiction of his life. Inspired by Len Deighton's own experiences of the film industry, Close-Up is a brilliant exposé of the sleaze, venality and betrayals of the studio machine. 'The richness, the sardonic humour, the wheeling and dealing ... the power of the book is undoubted' Evening Standard
