Description

An Expensive Place to Die by Len Deighton is a gripping thriller that delves into the darker side of human nature. In this reissue, a mysterious spy is sent to Paris to deliver a file of nuclear secrets, but soon finds himself entangled in a complex web of sex, blackmail, and hidden motives. A 'clinic' on Paris's Avenue Foch, designed to cater to multiple perversions, becomes the setting for a sinister game of cat and mouse. The enigmatic Monsieur Datt's operation, staffed by high-powered girls, seems to have a hidden purpose: compiling dossiers of influential political clients from East and West. As the agents of four world powers converge, their true intentions remain shrouded in mystery. A new introduction by Len Deighton offers a fascinating insight into the writing of the story, while a foreword from Oscar-winning filmmaker Arnold Schwartzman adds to the book's allure.
