As the end of the Second World War in Europe looms, a new conflict is in its early stages: who will control Europe when the war ends?
Soviet double-agent 'Archie' is now a British diplomat in the United States, feeding information on the Special Relationship back to Moscow Centre. Meanwhile, erstwhile Soviet agent 'Bertie' - Chrales Cooper - is sent on a perilous mission to Italy before being drawn towards Berlin as the Allies draw near their goal.
As the Red Army draws in on Berlin from the east, the British and Americans from the West, the heart of the Reich trembles beneath bombardment and the pitiless tracks of tanks. The stage is set for a climactic showdown, and the traitors become more central than ever...
The gripping third novel in Alex Gerlis' epic Double Agents series.
Gerlis is the maestro of multiple story strands expertly woven together into a thrilling, satisfying read -- Matt Nixon * Daily Express *
City of Traitors brilliantly captures the geopolitical jostling over controlof Europe that accompanied the latter stages of the Second World War... Pulse-racingly brilliant -- Matt Nixon and David Phillips * Daily Mirror *
Gerlis’s... enthusiasm for the period is infectious and this is becoming a classy portrait of the Soviet penetration of Britain’s establishment * The Times *
Engaging... Gerlis skilfully evokes both the era’s high politics and a world of everyday encounters threaded with mortal danger * Financial Times *
Gerlis’s depth of research and understanding of the conflicting political currents of the epoch make for a rich tapestry of fact and fiction, and the parallel plot lines grip like a vice, with characters barely a step away from catastrophe or triumph at any given moment. Loyalties are strongly questioned as the landscape of history unfolds in all its horrors and shame, while the two sided main characters struggle with all too human failings against a tide always likely to overwhelm them. Great, high-octane stuff. Highly recommended -- Maxim Jakubowski * Crime Time *
Good spy stories are about the psychology of the spy, and this is a very good spy story -- Michael Ridpath * Aspects of History *
