Riassunto

This reprint of Clive La Pensée’s crime thriller, brings the text up to date and takes account of more recently available historical detail. Maria, an innocent from Poland, caught in the Berlin underworld, must fight back to survive. Short term, her tactic works. Once she is on their radar, the chase is on. She recruits Jack, the artless retired tax inspector from sleepy Leamington Spa. He prevents her making a deadly mistake and becomes her mentor. The more he helps, the deeper the morass he descends into, until he too, is wanted for murder. Jack’s wife, Felicity, is otherwise busy while Jack is on holiday in Berlin. She realises all is not well. A phone call would have done. Instead, at the very moment Jack thinks he is free of trouble and Maria, Felicity arrives in Berlin. Now her life is in danger – and it is all Jack’s fault. How should he rescue his wife, then his marriage? Having just got Maria safely back to Poland, and out of his hair, he must ask her for help. The book views Maria’s actions against the history of Poland and post-unification Germany. Here are comments by readers of the first edition. · Get on board with a feast of real life characters as they courageously slalom through Berlin. · Excellent! Entertaining and very readable, makes you want to laugh out loud at times and then cry at others. · I couldn't put it down! This starts off as a routine crime story with a most unlikely hero and heroines and builds to an epic black comedy of Brian Rix quality. · Explores the dilemma of exploitation. If the exploited defend themselves, can the end justify the means?
