Produktbeschreibung

An East German agent uses seduction to spy on the West Elke has long led a quiet life, dedicated to her job as an assistant to an important official in the West German government. But beneath her plain exterior is a deep insecurity, born of the pains of caring for her autistic child-the result of a long-ago romance that was her life's sole moment of passion. And then she meets Otto. Tall, handsome, and suave, he is every woman's dream, and the interest he takes in her seems impossible-because it's all a lie. Otto is a spy, sent from the East German Stasi to gain a last advantage in the impending reunification of the divided country. His real target is not Elke but the state secrets to which she has access. When Elke accidentally discovers his deceit, the "little grey mouse" reveals a taste for revenge. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Brian Freemantle including rare photos from the author's personal collection.
