Cold war period, spy operation goes south in Berlin. Two agents are found, one dead and one heavily wounded in the head - rest of network is extracted as soon as possible for fear of capture. After recovering from head injury our protagonist finds out that third agent in the control circle is the one who actually sold the entire operation to opposition. This hits him hard because all three have history together and were very good friends.

But problem is that our hero is alive and traitor moves on to finish his business and ensure all survivors are dead and that his employers are satisfied and don't decide to silence him.

This move escalates into a full tragedy that sees our hero hell-bent on revenge and soon dead bodies start popping all over the place.

Very interesting, fast paced spy/revenge story. Author manages to show how personal feelings and official business (of spy agencies) are almost always in conflict. Considering that book is written in late 60's it aged pretty well.

Highly recommended to all thriller fans. ( )
