'A modern master at work' THE TIMES 'Heart-poundingly suspenseful'
WASHINGTON POST 'Joseph Kanon owns this corner of the literary
landscape' LEE CHILD Berlin. 1963. 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. Keller's most ardent desire: to
see his ex-wife Sabine and their young son. 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physics - his expertise is years out of date.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. 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. 'An enjoyable blend of
atmospherics, doomed love story and Cold War derring-do' Sunday
Times 'Thoroughly absorbing, a thoughtful and subtle evocation of a
place and era' Sunday Telegraph 'Kanon is fast approaching the
complexity and relevance not just of le Carre and Greene but even
of Orwell' New York Times 'Joseph Kanon continues to demonstrate
that he is up there with the very best...of spy thriller
writers...Kanon writes beautifully, superbly' The Times 'The
critical stock of Joseph Kanon is high' Guardian
