This journalistic investigation and artistic interpretation of a little-known yet fateful episode in the behind-the-scenes diplomacy of the USSR and West Germany during the Cold War.

Personal destinies are intertwined with global politics and spy intrigue. The book combines documentary accuracy with a suspenseful plot and will be of interest to anyone interested in the Cold War period, diplomacy, and the role of individuality in history.
