For a much-practiced espionage writer ( No Place To Hide, The Judas Factor, etc.), Allbeury projects little of interest here. He stocks a formulaic pool with flat, unexciting inhabitants and barely ripples the surface with intrigue. Sometime in the early 1970s, British Intelligence sends operative Jake Malik, a 38-year-old Polish/Jewish concentration camp survivor, to Germany to investigate a spate of anti-Semitic vandalism supposedly orchestrated by the KGB. Jake and his German counterpart, Heinz Fischer, discover instead a nongovernmental German-Israeli conspiracy to avert Russian aggression through threatened use of hidden nuclear warheads. Expected conflicts due to Jake's background arise, but fail to add needed depth or poignancy of character. Disappointingly uncomplicated and unconvincing. Rex E. Klett, Anson Cty. Lib., Wadesboro, N.C.
