Description

Danny McRae, a private detective scraping a living in post World War II London and Eve Copeland, crime reporter, looking for new angles to save her career - it's an alliance made in heaven. Until Eve disappears, a contact dies violently, and an old adversary presents Danny with some unpalatable truths.

His desperate search for his lover draws him into a web of black marketeers, double agents and assassins, and hurls him into the shattered remains of Berlin, where terrorism and espionage foreshadow the bleakness of the Cold War. And Danny begins to lose sight of the thin line between good and evil.
