Robert Ryan is back on form with this follow-up to 'The Last Sunrise'. I was particularly impressed with the development of James Hadley Webb's character and the description of the amorality of the time and place.
It is based on real events and you do get a real sense of what it must have been like to endure life in Berlin in 1948, though I could have done with slightly more on what was happening in the rest of the world during the period of the Berlin airlift.
I think the book works better if you have read 'The Last Sunrise' as the book does both include characters from that book and answers some of the questions that were left outstanding at the end of the last book.
Overall a very good read and a great return to form for Ryan.

Purchased for a holiday read - and it is almost perfect for that. Not to heavy but not too light either. A story full of intrigue and written in perfect "sunlounger" style. Doesn't take a lot of effort to read it, but if I had wanted that I would have bought a book that was designed to test my mind. This isnt and didnt! Fabulous for holidays or just a nice little read.

I bought this book after reading 'Empire of Sand' which was excellent. I was not so drawn by this book it is also a little short. Not great 'its OK'.
