At the height of the Cold War, two Americans are running a bar in the West German capital. One of them, Michael Padilloe keeps disappearing on "business trips." McCorkle, his partner, knows Padillo is a (reluctant) U.S. agent. But McCorkle is ready to help Padillo, and he joins his friend in a blind journey with no idea what they will encounter at the turn of each dark and dangerous corner.

Ross Thomas is ranked as one of the very top thriller writers by his fellow authors, and his readers loudly agree. Two Edgar Awards, and other prizes, only complement the abundant praise that Thomas has received.
Thomas died in 1995, and since then all but one of his twenty-five novels have gone out of print. This should never have happened to the man of whom The New Yorker has said "Very few...are as consistently entertaining...even fewer can match him for style and power." Minotaur is proud to remedy this situation by reissuing Thomas's novels. So start reading, and prepare to join Ross Thomas's legions of admiring fans.
“America's Best Storyteller.” ―New York Times Book Review
