'A first-rate espionage novel. Taut, intelligent, enthralling. A superb addition to Downing's celebrated Station series.' - William Boyd Los Angeles, 1953. It has been five years since John Russell extricated himself from a perilous career in international espionage.
Now he lives in relative comfort in McCarthy-era Los Angeles with his wife, Effi, a TV star, and their adopted daughter, Rosa, a young artist on the cusp of adulthood. Then he notices someone is tailing him all around Los Angeles. Has his research into US firms who dealt with the Nazis put noses out of joint? Or has Russell's former existence caught up with him? The answer seems to lie in Berlin, and John and Effi decide to brave the political disorder of a city that was once their home. In this final instalment of the iconic Station series, Russell comes face to face with the sinister forces that have followed him from Hollywood to Berlin. AUTHOR: David Downing grew up in suburban London. He is the author of eight books in the John Russell Station series, set in WWII Berlin, as well as four WWI espionage novels in the Jack McColl series and the thrillers Diary of a Dead Man on Leave and The Red Eagles.
