London Match

 is the third novel in the Bernard Samson series, not counting the historical prequel Winter.

Len Deighton stated that 'The three stories take place over a year, so the action of each book takes approximately four months' [Preface to Game, Set & Match omnibus edition]. He later clarified that this first trilogy covered the period from spring 1983 to spring 1984 [Author's Note to Faith].
