Synopsis
'There is more skill here, and more intelligence, than in any number of contemporary novels.' ROBERT HARRIS, DAILY MAIL on A Patriot in Berlin. 'Everything about this thoughtful and subtle novel is gripping' MARK LAWSON, GUARDIAN on A Patriot in Berlin. 'Never less that thought-provoking, it kept me intrigued throughout.' RIVERS SCOTT, LITERARY REVIEW on A Patriot in Berlin. Transcribing Russian language broadcasts at the BBC, Michael Latham sourly contemplates the success of his two friends from his Cambridge days: Gordon Taylor, editor of the SUNDAY GAZETTE and George Harding, junior minister at the Ministry of Defence. Then Harding's body is found floating in the river Saar - marks on the corpse suggest sadomasochism. Latham is persuaded to infiltrate a freemasonry of aristocratic Catholics, Harding's suspected murderers. Using the cover of a Roman Catholic priest, Latham goes to stay at Schloss Zelden near Munster, where dramatic events bring him to a closer realisation of who he is and what he believes.
