Ed Holt at the Daily Mail reports that British triller writer Len Deighton has died.
Len Deighton, the beloved spy novelist best
known for writing the Ipcress File, has died.
In a career that spanned decades, Mr Deighton
wrote over 38 books but his most famous work remained his debut novel the
Ipcress File which featured a nameless spy - later christened Harry Palmer.
The book broke the mould of thriller writing and featured a wisecracking working-class narrator and a mission that turned into a deadly conspiracy as he uncovered a bizarre brain drain among scientists.
