Cape, 1966.
First edition. Blue boards, lettered in gilt on the spine and with white computer punch tape design stamped on the upper cover, in the stylish silver foil dustwrapper. Pictorial endpapers.

The fourth in a series of cold war spy novels featuring an unnamed protagonist, filmed in 1967 by Ken Russell, starring Michael Caine. When Russell filmed the first in Deighton's series, The Ipcress File, he needed a name for the anonymous secret agent and chose "Harry Palmer", because he wanted a dull, unglamorous name to distance him from Ian Fleming's James Bond.
