Another candle on the cake...

Today is Len Deighton's 83rd birthday! On behalf of all the fans of his novels and readers of this blog, we extend a warm "congratulations" to him!

2012 is also the 50th anniversary of the publication of The IPCRESS File, Len's first novel and the story which arguably gave a brand new twist to the spy novel as Fleming's Bond books had done in the previous decade.

This blog will publish a series of posts on 'Ipcress at 50' during the year.
