...works in what seems to be everyday London, its streets, its parks and warehouses, and he lives alone in a sloppy bachelor apartment. He shops with the masses in a supermarket, and he worries about the raise he's expecting. In this realistic setting, author Len Deighton places his fantastic jewel of a plot, and then polishes it with humor, blood, sex, and a little more bureaucratic realism...

Paree & the Black Books. Thanks to his friends, Hornung's whole life has been one long weekend, and "every day is Derby Day." While he was still a junior at Notre Dame, a "bachelor millionaire" named Abe Samuels introduced Paul to the chorus line at Chicago's Chez Paree. After he turned pro, a pinball-machine operator named Barney Shapiro staked him to a Las Vegas trip and handled his weekly bets (up to $300) on pro football games. When Paul was suspended in 1963 for gambling, Governor Endicott Peabody of Massachusetts made a speech in his behalf...
