A BERNARD SAMSON NOVEL

'The plotting is masterly, the atmospheric descriptions superb ... absolute bliss' Sunday Telegraph

Summer 1987, the final years of the Cold War. Bernard Samson has been sent to East Germany to make contact with a KGB defector, codename VERDI, who claims to have access to top intelligence secrets. But something goes wrong, and Bernard must struggle to stay in the game. Fighting to keep his job and rebuild his shattered marriage, kept in the dark by London Central, he has no one he can trust, and nothing to depend on but his own faith. This is the first part of the 'Faith, Hope and Charity' trilogy.

'A string of brilliantly mounted set-pieces ... superbly laconic wisecracks' The Times
