On one side of the trade: Martin Keller, an American physicist who once made headlines, but who then disappeared into the English prison system. Keller's most critical possession: his American passport. Keller's most ardent desire: to see his ex-wife Sabine and their young son.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But Martin has questions: who asked for him? Who negotiated the deal? Just the KGB bringing home one of its agents? Or, as he hopes, a more personal intervention? He has worked for the service long enough to know that nothing happens by chance. They want him for something. Not physics - his expertise is years out of date. Something else, which he cannot learn until he arrives in East Berlin, when suddenly the game is afoot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom the master of suspense, this is an exhilarating return to Joseph Kanon's heartland, the perilous backdrop of Berlin, now at the height of the Cold War. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'An enjoyable blend of atmospherics, doomed love story and Cold War derring-do' \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'Thoroughly absorbing, a thoughtful and subtle evocation of a place and era' \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSunday Telegraph\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'Kanon is fast approaching the complexity and relevance not just of le Carre and Greene but even of Orwell' \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'Joseph Kanon continues to demonstrate that he is up there with the very best...of spy thriller writers...Kanon writes beautifully, superbly' \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'The critical stock of Joseph Kanon is high' \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGuardian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Kanon, Joseph","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":44340591198498,"sku":"9781398501515","price":11.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":53050987807059,"sku":"XV81398501515","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/kanon-joseph-joseph-kanon-the-berlin-exchange-2022-paperback-9781398501515-59292656501075.jpg?v=1771335121","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/the-berlin-exchange","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
