The Memory Church - Softcover

In his fourth spy novel, Sebastian ( Spy Shadow , LJ 4/15/91) effectively portrays the grim and gritty half-tones of both the life and landscape of East Berlin. Germany is unifying, but pseudo-traitor James Martin (planted to uncover a British double agent) is uncertain what his next move should be in the absence of any word from his superiors. When people around him begin to reveal information and are subsequently killed, Martin flees East Berlin. His path to safety, which requires him to learn the identity of the double agent and reveal the circumstances of his own "defection"--wends from former coworkers and friends in England to a former lover in Washington, D.C., and back to Berlin. The first-person narrative involves the reader in a novel that offers more in the way of tangible atmosphere and characters than nonstop action. Recommended for popular fiction collections.
