Jack Teller is through with the CIA-until the Berlin station is contacted by a Colonel in the East German Stasi just days before President John F. Kennedy's scheduled visit to the Wall. The Stasi officer has an important message-and he will speak to no one but Jack.
The informant claims a treacherous plot is brewing to assassinate the American president in Germany-a conspiracy originating at the highest levels of the U.S. government. Only Jack Teller believes the threat is real, and it has left him alienated and alone in a divided city that holds too many dark secrets. And if he forgets the two essential truths of the espionage game-that lies are currency and nothing is what it seems-he won't live to prevent a global catastrophe.
