A new and terrifying enemy rears its head at last…
With the end of the Second World War in sight, the Allies begin to divide up the spoils and it proves to be a dangerous game.

He sends in two agents Rolf Eder and Katharina Hoch to track down Austria’s most respected politician and bring him over to the British cause. But the feared Soviet spy Viktor Krasotkin is already in the war-torn city, embarking on exactly the same mission.
A taut, tense masterclass in espionage fiction, perfect for fans of John le Carr, Len Deighton and Jack Higgins.
