When the Berlin Wall comes down, James Martin's life as a British sleeper agent in East Berlin starts to crumble. He is publicly revealed as a traitor, having been wrongly blamed for the betrayal of a British network in East Germany. Upon his return to the West he has many enemies on both sides, both known and unknown, especially the real traitor. Author Sebastian (Spy Shadow, Audio Reviews, LJ 6/15/93) succeeds in conveying a duplicitous and paranoid atmosphere. Reader Owen Teale, as he gets into Martin's head, also contributes with his melancholy, tired, and stressed tones. Unfortunately, neither Sebastian nor Teale is able to make us like or care all that much about the characters, so the story doesn't succeed as a "page-turner." Others in this genre, notably the great John le Carre (The Night Manager, Audio Reviews, LJ 10/15/94), are much better at engaging the listener. Library funds may be better spent elsewhere.
