    About this ebook

    "An astonishing book: don’t miss it." --BOSTON GLOBE


    In the treacherous maze of post-war Berlin, beautiful Ellen Content mysteriously disappeared. John Terrant, her fiancee, was told by American Intelligence that she would contact him when her "job" was finished. She never did.


    Terrant waited. For a year-and-a-half there was no other course. Then he found one clue to Ellen's whereabouts. And after eighteen inactive months, suddenly every moment counted. Short days later, Terrant's search ended -- in a blaze of bullets!

      Aug 28, 2023

      In recent weeks and months, more by chance than planning, I’ve been reading more much shorter books than I usually do. A slow and careful reader, I take on average a week to finish a 300-page novel (I once read that most adult novels are between 70,0
