描述
"A new and terrifying enemy rears it head at last. With the end of the Second World War in sight, the Allies begin to divide up the spoils. It proves to be a dangerous game. The British realise that the Soviet Union is intent on controlling Austria. Major Edgar is tasked with establishing an espionage unit in Vienna to monitor the situation. He sends two agents to bring Austria's most respected politician over to the British cause. But the feared Soviet spy Viktor Krasotkin is already in the war-torn city, on exactly the same mission. The game is on. A taut, tense masterclass in espionage fiction, perfect for fans of John le Carré and Alan Furst."--Back cover.
