'A modern master at work’ <b><i>THE TIMES</i></b><br> ‘Heart-poundingly suspenseful’ <b><i>WASHINGTON POST</i></b><br> ‘Joseph Kanon owns this corner of the literary landscape’ <b>LEE CHILD</b><br><br><b>Berlin, 1963. </b>The height of the Cold War and an early morning spy swap. On one side of the trade: Martin Keller, an American physicist who once made headlines, but who then disappeared into the English prison system. Keller's most critical possession: his American passport. His most ardent desire: to see his ex-wife Sabine and their young son.<br><br> But Martin has questions: who asked for him? Who negotiated the deal? Just the KGB bringing home one of its agents? Or, as he hopes, a more personal intervention? He has worked for the service long enough to know that nothing happens by chance. They want him for something. Not physics – his expertise is years out of date. Something else, which he cannot learn until he arrives in East Berlin, when suddenly the game is afoot.<br><br><b>From the master of suspense, this is an exhilarating return to Joseph Kanon’s heartland, the perilous backdrop of Berlin, now at the height of the Cold War.<br><br> PRAISE FOR JOSEPH KANON: </b><br><br> 'An enjoyable blend of atmospherics, doomed love story and Cold War derring-do' <b><i>Sunday Times</i></b><br><br> 'Thoroughly absorbing, a thoughtful and subtle evocation of a place and era' <b><i>Sunday Telegraph</i></b><br><br> 'Kanon is fast approaching the complexity and relevance not just of le Carré and Greene but even of Orwell' <b><i>New York Times</i></b><br><br> 'Joseph Kanon continues to demonstrate that he is up there with the very best . . . of spy thriller writers . . . Kanon writes beautifully, superbly' <b><i>The Times</i></b><br><br> 'The critical stock of Joseph Kanon is high' <b><i>Guardian</i></b>
