'Are you seriously telling me that in the time you've worked in Operations, you've never seen an order for expedient demise?'
'For defectors, Boyd. For traitors. For people with heads filled with secrets like the whereabouts of field agents. Then only after the department is certain that they are on the point of betraying everything to Moscow. They never XPD field people like you, pursuing an operational task to the best of your ability.'

For more than forty years what happened at that meeting has been Britain's most closely guarded secret. A secret still so dangerous to the security of the realm that anyone who learns of it must die — with their file stamped XPD: expedient demise.
Set In the summer of 1979, Len Delghton's brilliant new masterwork of Intrigue and suspense carries the reader, with a pace that never once flags, from the mansions of Beverly Hills to the back streets of King 's Cross, from Lake Geneva to the Baltic Sea, until it reaches a characteristically Ingenious and unexpected climax on a film set of the Fuhrer's study under the shadow of a Nazi eagle.
Len Deighton is a master of cunning. No-one explores with greater Ingenuity or such wry skill the world of double-dealing and conspiracy, of treachery and deceit. With its expert interweaving of fact and invention. Its wheels-wlthin-wheels of mystery and surprise, XPD is a supreme example of his craft.
