Product Description

Product Description

One freezing night in 1939, Thomas Danforth accepts a mission that will change his life forever: travel to Nazi Germany as cover for an enigmatic female assassin, Anna Klein.

Danforth is captivated by this beautiful, mysterious woman. But just as he starts to discover more about her, she disappears...

Desperately searching for her through a Europe ravaged by war, Danforth becomes ensnared in a maelstrom of love and vengeance, of shifting loyalties and betrayals. His quest will span decades, implicate him in a world-wide conspiracy, and take him to the brink of madness. But he cannot shake the obsession that drives his every waking moment: Who is Anna Klein?

An unsuspected gem 4 Jan 2012
By Candide
Format:Kindle Edition
I hadn't read anything by Thomas H. Cook before so I tried this book because it was in the 12 Days of Kindle sale. It was totally engrossing and I particularly enjoyed the way the story was gradually unwrapped, unpeeling layer after layer and demolishing preconceptions. Right up to the end, I didn't know what the quest for the true Anna would reveal. The wartime background, the elements of espionage, the forays into Germany and Russia all appealed to me and I found the method of narration clever. A very well written book which will make me look out for this author again.

I have been reading Thomas H. Cook for the past eight years and every novel he has written is sublime. He is never frightened to take risks and the high quality of his writing always shows a master at his craft. If you haven't read Cook then start with this, his latest title. And if you like it - and I am sure you will, then pick up 'Red Leaves' and/or 'The Interrogation'. I am sure, like me you will be converted and become a fan of this great man's work.

Thomas H. Cook is a consistently good author and this is another great novel from him. Post 9/11 Paul Crane, from an American think tank, is sent to interview Thomas Jefferson Danforth, an elderly intelligence officer. Paul is full of anger about what has happened in his city and, at first, is impatient with Danforth's story as it unwinds slowly. This story ranges from 1939 until the present and encompasses Berlin, London, France, Russia, New York and many places in-between. It tells the tale of Danforth's life as a young man and his being approached before America even entered WWII to help with a 'Project'. At first, his involvement is peripheral, merely to give a safe place and a cover identity for the training of an agent called Anna Klein. However, gradually, Anna becomes important to Danforth and he accompanies her to Europe.

What follows is a tale of Nazi Germany, Stalinist Russia and encompasses meeting Hitler, the gulags and the work of spies. Mostly, it is a tale of revenge, of love and loss and bitterness. As Paul is to find, revenge is no new emotion and the tale, which seemed irrelevant to a young, impatient man, teaches him much about himself. This is a wonderful novel from a great author, who deserves more recognition in this country than he currently receives.
