Book Description
Andre Lorch returns to Berlin, scene of his childhood, to find it a ghost city. Death walks beside him as he pursues his secret mission for American Intelligence using the tactics of gangland and the F.B.I.
Fear follows him as he moves among a conquered, shattered people.
Yet as always, there is dancing and drinking and lovemaking in the midst of destruction. Surrounded by countless girls who can be bought for a package of cigarettes, Andre meets two women, one who uses him, and one who loves him.
Out of the brawls, the orgies and the terror that is occupied Berlin, the climax is chill-laden melodrama. The pursuit, the diguise, the narrow escapes - here are all the elements of a "thriller" set against a very real background.
