The finale to Francis Bennett's brilliant Cold War trilogy.
To his friends and students Dr Berlin is a successful academic at the Moscow Institute of History. But he is also the secret servant of a corrupt regime, an informer who betrays his friends and colleagues alike.
This is the late summer of 1960. A huge armoury of Soviet missiles threatens the West. The Soviet Union appears confident and war fever infects the West, bringing ever closer the spectre of nuclear conflict.
On the eve of his departure to lecture at Cambridge University, Dr Berlin is asked by a disillusioned faction in the Soviet military to deliver a secret message to the West. But can the arch liar redeem his life of deceptions through one courageous act?
