Leonard Cyril Deighton (born 18 February 1929) is a British author. His publications have included history and military history, but he is best known for his spy novels. Deighton became a book and magazine illustrator—including designing the cover for first UK edition of Jack Kerouac's 1957 work On the Road. During an extended holiday in France he wrote his first novel, The IPCRESS File, which was published in 1962, and was a critical and commercial success, and he wrote several spy novels featuring the same central character, a working class intelligence officer, cynical and tough. Several of Deighton's works have been adapted for film and other media. Films include The Ipcress File (1965), Funeral in Berlin (1966), Billion Dollar Brain (1967) and Spy Story (1976). In 1988 Granada Television produced the miniseries Game, Set and Match based on his trilogy of the same name, and in 1995 BBC Radio 4 broadcast a "real time" dramatization of his novel Bomber. More
