A superb novel that will captivate readers from the very first chapter and keep them engaged with every line.

The Sunday Express praised it as "a chilling and compelling story of revolution and betrayal."

Set deep within the South American jungle, the novel follows the MAMista Marxist revolutionaries as they wage a seemingly hopeless and protracted war against a dictatorial regime, while the CIA sees an opportunity for intervention.

Amid the chaos, three very different individuals, a doctor, a young firebrand, and an educated revolutionary, find themselves thrown together and trapped at the heart of a battle where the enemy is uncertain, and there can be no clear winners.

Len Deighton's first post-Cold War novel is a masterfully crafted tale that explores the complexities of moral ambiguity and the consequences of political power struggles.

Time Magazine recognized it as a significant work, stating that "moral ambiguity used to be called Greeneland. Since Graham Greene's death, at least part of it ought to be renamed Deightonsville."
