Contents: Publisher's Note:

Master storyteller John Gardner introduces the reader to spymaster Big Herbie Kruger, A German-born intellectual whose brilliance and fearsome exploits have made him a legend in Britain's Secret Service.

When a high ranking KGB officer in East Berlin inexplicably commits suicide and another defects, Kruger becomes concerned about this spy net -- the Telegraph Boys -- who have been a mainstay to the NATO warning system.

Herbie's orders are that he himself must not go to East Berlin, where his identity is known. But Herbie understands that the only way he can maintain the safety and integrity of his agents is to do just that, and risk his life trying to check on each member of his network. His journey into the shadows of Russian-controlled East Germany becomes an emotionally shattering experience in which memories of the past merge with events of the present.
