Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Berlin, 1989. Anne Simpson, an American who works as a translator at the Joint Operations Refugee Committee, thinks she is in a normal marriage with a charming East German. But then her husband disappears and the CIA and Western German intelligence arrive at her door. Nothing about her marriage is as it seems.Anne had been targeted by the Matchmaker a high level East German counterintelligence officer who runs a network of Stasi agents. These agents are his 'Romeos' who marry vulnerable women in West Berlin to provide them with cover as they report back to the Matchmaker. Anne has been married to a spy, and now he has disappeared, and is presumably dead.The CIA are desperate to find the Matchmaker because of his close ties to the KGB. They believe he can establish the truth about a high-ranking Soviet defector. They need Anne because she's the only person who has seen his face from a photograph that her husband mistakenly left out in his office and she is the CIA's best chance to identify him before the Matchmaker escapes to Moscow.Time is running out as the Berlin Wall falls and chaos engulfs East Germany. But what if Anne's husband is not dead? And what if Anne has her own motives for finding the Matchmaker to deliver a different type of justice?Praise for Paul Vidich'This deserves to rank with vintage Le Carr.' Mail on Sunday'An author in control of both his story and its arena. Vidich's style is sparse but atmospheric. Carefully deployed tradecraft and technical knowledge only add to the air of verisimilitude.' Financial Times'In short, this is one of the year's premier spy novels, a close study of individual lives set against global turmoil, a heady blend of spy games and their very human consequences' CrimeReads'Vidich's visualisation of time and place is masterly.' Times'Cold War spy fiction in the grand tradition - neatly plotted betrayals in that shadow world where no one can be trusted and agents are haunted by their own moral compromises' Joseph Kanon In the vein of Graham Greene and John le Carre, The Matchmaker delivers a chilling Cold War spy story set in West Berlin, where an American woman targeted by the Stasi must confront the truth behind her German husband's mysterious disappearance.
