Beschrijving
Having shot someone in what he believed was self-defense in the chaos of 1963 Berlin, Wilderness is released from custody thanks to a pardon arranged by his father-in-law Burne-Jones, a senior MI6 agent. He enters a new assignment that pulls him back into Berlin, the volatile border between the West and the Soviets. The novel chronicles a web of innocence and intrigue as Wilderness moves between Berlin and Vienna, navigating a landscape shaped by Cold War tension, espionage, and shifting loyalties. Set against the backdrop of the building of the Berlin Wall and the broader power plays of the era, the story intertwines personal risk with geopolitical drama, all while a complex plan unfolds on Europe’s divided stage.
The tale builds on a historic premise: two English prisoners on opposite sides, Geoffrey Masefield in Lubyanka and Bernard Alleyn (alias KGB Captain Leonid Liubimov) in Wormwood Scrubs, with a prisoner exchange proposed on Berlin’s famous bridge. As the plot thickens, Joe Wilderness adds his own twists, balancing profit and danger in a world where every move could tilt the balance of power.
