With the end of the Second World War in sight, the Allies begin to divide up the spoils, and it proves to be a dangerous game. The British have become aware that the Soviet Union is intent on controlling Austria once the war ends.

Major Edgar is given the job of establishing an espionage unit in Vienna in order to track down Austria's most respected politician. But the feared Soviet spy Viktor Krasotkin is already embarking on exactly the same mission....

A good story spoiled by poor narration.
it sounded like the recording was made on the narrator's first read through. This was very disappointing as a result.

A good yarn badly read.

Enjoyable, easy listening. A little predictable at times. It felt like there was more to come at the end. However well read and researched. Worth a listen if you like spy novels.

Spy novel from 2WW. Well read and engaging story

Thanks a really good listen, interesting well paced plot with lots of twists and unexpected turns. Unfortunately let down with some dreadful German pronunciation!

Great Book

Sorry to say that the narration was poor. Perhaps the narrator sight-read instead of first checking the sense of the phrase or sentence, which was continually given incorrectly.
The story though was well-researched. Mr. Gerlis' journalistic skills show through.

Thorough research but poor narration

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Good spy story and fab alternative to the drivel and depression peddled as news on BBC Radio on the way into work.

A Ripping Yarn
