About this listen

To live among wolves, first you must become one… An unmissable new spy thriller from best-selling master of the genre, Alex Gerlis.

War is coming to Europe.

British spymaster Barnaby Allen begins recruiting a network of agents in Germany. With diplomatic relations quickly unravelling, this pack of spies soon comes into their own: the horse-loving German at home in Berlin's underground; the young American sports journalist; the mysterious Luftwaffe officer; the Japanese diplomat and the most unlikely one of all... the SS officer's wife.

Despite constant danger and the ever-present threats of discovery and betrayal, Allen's network unearths top-secret plans for a new German fighter plane – and a truly devastating intelligence prize... an audacious Japanese plan to attack the United States. But can they prove it?

The race is on.

An unputdownable and atmospheric Second World War espionage thriller, Agent in Berlin will grip you to the very end. Perfect for readers of David Young, Robert Harris and Rory Clements.

Critic reviews

Gerlis proves himself a master of spy fiction to rival John le Carré, Robert Harris and other leading lights with this gripping and entertaining novel set mostly in the frenzied world of pre-war Berlin.
-- David Young, author of Stasi Child

Everything slots together perfectly in this hugely atmospheric and powerfully character-driven story set in Germany at the rise of Nazism... a brilliant new addition to the genre.
-- Chris Lloyd, author of The Unwanted Dead

Amazing plotting, packs a real punch.
-- Mark Billy Billingham, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Hard Way

The first volume of a promising new series, Alex Gerlis handles an ensemble cast with panache.
-- Financial Times

An unmissable spy thriller from bestselling master of the genre Alex Gerlis.

I was completely drawn into the terrifying times and awe inspiring courage of the real spies and agents that these fictionalised characters represented. Beautifully and chillingly told. Need something lightweight now to catch my breath!

An enthralling story from beginning to end. I found it a real challenge to take a break from listening. Highly recommended.
Thank you Alex.

Brilliant.

There’s nothing wrong with the narrator. He has the accent that could belong to a public school alumnus and that’s what the character is. Anyway, the whole thing is perfectly good.

Enjoyable

Agent in Berlin is a gripping espionage thriller set in the 1930s and during WW2. The narration is good with good accents, in my opinion, despite the negative feedback from others. Best to sample the narration beforehand.
The plot is really believable and captures the atmosphere of the times, and I wonder if any of the story is based on actual events. If you enjoy spy thrillers set in the early to mid 20th century, I recommend this novel.

This is the first of the “Woolpack” series and it’s a great story. The German accents used by the narrator are sometimes a little overdone and therefore amusing, but they don’t detract from a very well constructed and absorbing narrative. I really enjoyed it.

Great audiobook!
