A small town in Germany - John Le Carr

'Brilliant, unforgettable ... a masterpiece' New Statesman

West
Germany in the 1960s is a simmering cauldron of radical protests. Amid
the turmoil Leo Harting, a Second Secretary in the British Embassy, has
gone missing - along with more than forty Confidential embassy files.
Alan Turner of the Foreign Office must travel to Bonn to recover them.
As he gets closer to the truth of Harting's disappearance, he will
discover that the face of Cold War Europe - and the attentions of the
British Ministry itself - are far uglier that he could possibly have
imagined.


Le Carr's searing Cold War novel creates a world
where the lines between right and wrong, good and evil, are horribly
blurred.
