• The Painter and the Spy
    Vienna in the autumn of 1928 smelled of roasted chestnuts and damp stone. Thomas Whitfield walked through the city with his leather satchel pressed against his ribs, feeling the weight of the documents inside—his credentials as a Yale visiting scholar, and beneath them, the real reason he was here: a letter from Colonel Harrington at Army Intelligence, asking him to observe the security...

  • The Spy in Saint-Germain
    The bookshop was on Rue de Seine, the kind of small, cluttered place that exists only in Paris and only at certain hours of the day -- morning, when the light comes through the dusty windows at an angle that makes everything look like a Vermeer painting. Charles found Leon there on a Tuesday, reaching for a book on the top shelf. They both grabbed for it at the same time. It was a slim volume...

  • The Spy Who Drove
    ## [English Version] The man in the grey suit sat across from Jack Moran in a booth at the back of a bar called The Cellar. The Cellar was not a good name for a bar that had no cellar.

He looked at the man's...

  • The Spy's Last Letter
    I have been in Cell 14 for eight months. I know the routine: wake up at six, breakfast at seven, visitation at ten, lunch at noon, recreation at two, dinner at six, lights out at nine. I have read every book in the prison library. I have written three letters to my handler. None have been answered. I am beginning to understand what this means. My name is Nikolai Vasserman. I am fifty-two years...

  • The Spy's Last Night
    Berlin in 1962 was a city of ghosts and walls. It was a place where a whisper could be a death sentence and a smile was often a weapon. The safehouse in the Wedding district was a nondescript apartment with peeling wallpaper and a view of a grey, rain-slicked courtyard. Inside, the air was thick with the smell of old tobacco and the electric tension of a secret that could destroy two empires....
