Samenvatting

The exhilarating second book in the Game, Set, Match series has Bernard Samson racing around the globe laying the groundwork for KGB major Erich Stinnes to defect to London Intelligence. Samson has a lot to prove in the way of loyalty after his wife's defection to the KGB, and her help in convincing Stinnes to side with the West would be a big step in the right direction. But Bernard risks being entangled in a web of old loyalties and betrayals, murder, suicide, and office politics as he tries to negotiate this maneuver. The further he goes, the more events spin out of his control--and he finds himself caught in ever more compromising positions.

    This brilliant second book of LDs trilogy “Game, Set and Match” about London Central’s spy Bernard Samson (BS) happens around 1984-5. He grew up as the son of a WW II intelligence officer stationed in Berlin, a city he loves and knows very well and where some school friendships continue. In 1978 he survived an east-west crossing of the Iron Curtain, which killed a colleague. Ever since BS has been confined to a lower desk job than he hoped for in London, despite occasional undercover trips abroad. He is a field agent by nature, but life with his beloved wife and colleague Fiona and their children more than compensates for the daily pain of working with Oxbridge desk officers and higher deities with no field experience.
    Bernard Samson’s life comes apart when he discovers and reports himself that Fiona is a KGB spy. She flees just in time. Early in this sequel, it emerges that she is a full KGB Colonel based in East Berlin, in charge of a crucial spy station. What do BS's colleagues think about the husband of a wife who was a career KGB spy? How do new colleagues in East Berlin look at a foreign woman imposed on them by Moscow? Separately, Bernard and Fiona are under immense pressure to prove their loyalty…
    What follows could be called a proxy war, a duel or a fishing contest. The fish is Erich Stinnes (ES), a Russian KGB Major who arrested BS in “Berlin Game”, but let him go. BS’ lifelong friend Werner, on holiday in Mexico City, spots ES in a German club. What follows will enchant new and old readers…
    Otherwise, the poisonous office politics in London Central and its satellites are described in minute, scathing detail, for readers to enjoy or decry. Not an action thriller, but some deaths do occur...
