Summary

Summary

"Dazzlingly intelligent and subtle" —Sunday Times

"Worth of Raymond Chandler . . . intelligent, inventive, constantly entertaining" —Sunday Telegraph

Texan billionaire General Midwinter will stop at nothing to bring down the USSR—even if it puts the whole world at risk. The fourth and final novel featuring the cynical, insolent narrator of The IPCRESS File sees him sent from his shabby Soho office to bone-freezing Helsinki in order to penetrate Midwinter's vast anti-Communist network—and stop a deadly virus from wiping out the planet.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

The Billion Dollar Brain…is much more fantastically complex than anything he used in The Ipcress File or Funeral in Berlin. Actually it’s Goldfinger gadgetry…Deighton’s electronic tinkertoy is Smersh-ingly good fun.” Kirkus Reviews
