A BERNARD SAMSON NOVEL

''The master of espionage writing at his brilliant best'' Mail on Sunday

With the Cold War drawing to a close in the East, Bernard Samson is still haunted by the events that have turned his life upside down over the last ten years. But when he takes a train from Moscow to Berlin, he stumbles across a clue that may lead him to the truth at last - even though, in finding the answers, he could lose everything. Bringing the ''Faith, Hope and Charity'' trilogy, and Bernard Samson''s story, to a stunning conclusion, this final volume brilliantly shows the human cost of the spying game.

''The series represents a magnificent achievement in the field of espionage writing and Samson remains one of the great spies'' Irish Times
