Eye of the Needle is a best-selling World War II spy thriller novel by Welsh author Ken Follett, first published in 1978. It tells the story of a ruthless German spy in Britain who uncovers the Allies' D-Day deception plan and the desperate race to stop him from delivering the critical intelligence to Hitler. The novel was Follett's breakthrough international bestseller. It earned him the 1979 Edgar Award for Best Novel from the Mystery Writers of America. The fictional plot is set against the real historical backdrop of "Operation Fortitude," the Allied counter-intelligence operation designed to convince the Germans that the D-Day invasion would take place at Calais rather than Normandy. The novel was adapted into a successful 1981 motion picture of the same title, starring Donald Sutherland as the main character, Henry Faber. The book explores themes of espionage, loyalty, love, betrayal, and the moral complexities of war.
