Suspense | Thriller
Berlin, 1948. Still occupied by the four Allied powers and
largely in ruins, the city has become the cockpit of a new
Cold War. The legacies of the war have become entangled in
the new Soviet-American conflict, creating a world of
bizarre and fleeting loyalties—a paradise for spies. As
spring unfolds, a Western withdrawal looks increasingly
likely. Berlin’s German inhabitants live in fear of the
Soviet forces who occupy half the city, and whose legacy of
violence has ripped apart many families.
John
Russell works for both Stalin's NKVD and the newly created
CIA, trying his best to cut himself loose from both before
his double-agency is discovered by either. As tensions
between the great powers escalate, each passing day makes
Russell’s position more treacherous. He and his Soviet
liaison, Shchepkin, seek out one final operation—one piece
of intelligence so damning it could silence the wrath of one
nation and solicit the protection of the other. It will be
the most dangerous task Russell has ever taken on, but one
way or the other, it will be his last.
