1939: Being a spy in Berlin is never going to be easy but this time, it’s especially dangerous too…
Silesian Station
What you need to know before your trail
In July 1939 Russell returns to Berlin as the newly-appointed Central European correspondent of an American newspaper. With his communist past, German son and English-American parentage he’s the perfect catch for any of Europe’s warring espionage services — and none will take no for an answer.
Through the long Berlin summer, through trips to Prague, Warsaw and Moscow tracking Europe’s descent into war, Russell seeks to satisfy his secret masters, protect his girlfriend Effi and his son Paul, and retain some sense of his fragile integrity.
And if this wasn’t difficult enough, a friend needs his help in finding the missing Jewish niece of an employee. With a whole continent headed for self-immolation, saving just one person shouldn’t be so difficult . . .

Berlin Ostbahnhof is a main line railway station in Berlin and has undergone several name changes in its history. It was known as Berlin Hauptbahnhof from 1987 to 1998, but this name has since been given to Berlin’s new central station.
