First edition. Fine in dust jacket. Second book in the trilogy, finds Herbie Kruger deeply concerned as a high ranking KGB officer in East Berlin inexplicably commits suicide and another defects. He is ordered not to go to East Berlin himself, where his identity is known, but launch an operation there to learn who is a double agent. We've had many espionage readers say this book is one of the finest espionage novels of all time. Certainly it is among the one dozen greatest espionage novels ever written.
