It is now 1948 and John Russell is now employed by the Brits and
Yanks to translate Russian for them in Trieste. Russell is still
employed by both the Soviets and the Yanks as a double agent. Shchepkin
is still his Soviet contact. Effi, Russell's wife and their adopted
daughter, Rosa, are in Berlin where Effi is working on another film and
Rosa is attending school.
In Berlin the Soviets have
decided to step up the restrictions on travel for the allies in the
western zone. Both have things to do while the western allies set up a
new currency plan for western Germany and the allied section of Berlin.
It will cause problems as the Soviets establish a blockade of Berlin.
What will it mean for the future of the pair and their daughter?

David Downing has developed a story that leads wonderfully into the
Cold War and all the issues that developed as a result of the issues
between the USA and the Soviet Union. Downing's 'Station' series
provide fans of spy thrillers excellent reads.
