Jack Teller left the Company after the Bay of Pigs fiasco,
hoping to live a quiet life on a remote beach in south
Florida. But it's not turning out that way. Just days before
President John F. Kennedy is scheduled to deliver his
historic speech at the Berlin Wall, a mysterious message is
sent to the Berlin station of the CIA from a Colonel in the
East German Stasi. He claims to have important information,
but he will disclose it to only one man: Jack.
The Berlin Conspiracy races across the terrain of
John le Carr�, Frederick Forsyth, and Robert Ludlum, while
introducing a brilliant, fresh voice in espionage fiction.
Tom Gabbay has created an unforgettable twentieth-century
hero in Jack Teller, and populated his story with a wealth
of multidimensional characters -- men and women who exist in
the parallel but inter-secting worlds of a divided Berlin
when it was the crossroads between communist Soviet Union
and the West.
The intelligence provided by this Stasi official, if true,
exposes a treacherous plot originating from the highest
levels of the U.S. government. Jack's handlers, including
his former mentor Sam Clay, believe it's a communist setup,
and Jack is playing the part of the expendable pawn. But
after a face-to-face meeting with his informer, Jack isn't
so sure and plunges into a risky search for the truth. After
receiving threats from higher-ups in the CIA, he soon finds
himself alone, at the axis of the Cold War, in a city that
holds many dark secrets -- including some from Jack's own
storied past.
In the world of espionage, lies are currency and nothing is
what it seems -- a truth Jack would do well to remember if
he wants to live to prevent a global catastrophe. A unique
and brilliantly plotted debut thriller featuring dark
twists, breathtaking action, and unforgettable characters,
The Berlin Conspiracy is spellbinding to its
hair-raising end.
