About this listen

West Berlin, 1979. Helen Abell oversees the CIA's network of safe houses, rare havens amidst the dangerous milieu of a city in the grips of the Cold War. Helen's world is upended when she overhears a meeting between two people speaking a coded language that hints at shadowy realities far beyond her comprehension. Before the day is out, she witnesses a second unauthorised encounter. Her attempts to expose the dark truths about what she has witnessed will bring about repercussions that reach across decades and continents into the present day, when, in Maryland, a young man is arrested for the double murder of his parents, and his sister takes it upon herself to find out why he did it.

It was a good listen and the changes in the timing of the pieces of the plot was well handled. The murkiness of what goes on in the name of democracy and security never ceases to amaze. The was a bit of a damp squib.

The plot unravelling from two different time periods and slowly getting closer together was expertly written. Wonderful story telling. I’ll look out for more by Dan fesperman

Brilliant!

The performance is great and the story ticks along at a decent pace switching between two time periods that are interwoven.

I enjoyed the spy element more than the mystery, and felt a little rushed toward the end, but overall a good story.

Not what I was expecting but fun

Fantastic story. Well 2 stories that intertwine perfectly. Really well told and a joy to listen, thank you

Superb

The author is clearly an accomplished writer and captured the flavour of the late 1970, or at least my memory of it. It’s not an all out ‘guns and bodies’ thriller, but an intelligent adventure.

The narration was good.

Nicely written and narrated

Thoroughly enjoyed this book, an interesting storyline, and a decent narrator (though French words and English accents not his specialty)…

Intriguing story
