Len Deighton's Secret Files gallery

One of my favourite authors... and one of my favourite series. Len Deighton's nameless hero was given the name Harry Palmer when he appeared in The IPCRESS File movie adaptation starring Michael Caine.

I posted some of the following covers a while back but decided to scan up more of Deighton's novels while I was sorting them out into a box (they're definitely going to be kept, bar a few where I've got more than one copy). For more about Deighton, take a look at his Wikipedia entry.
