Nat Turnbull is a history professor who specializes in the German resistance. When his estranged mentor, Gordon Wolfe, is arrested for possession of stolen World War II archives, Nat's hardly surprised that the eighty-four-year-old has gotten himself into trouble. But what's in the archive is staggering. Yet key documents are still missing, and Nat believes Gordon has hidden them. Then Gordon is found dead in jail, and the FBI dispatches Nat to track them down.

Review:
Fesperman is the closest thing America has to John le Carré, a writer of great elegance and sophistication whose novels are as topical as they are compelling. In a market saturated by factory-made thrillers, Fesperman stands out as a spy novelist of the highest quality. (Charles Cumming)
Stylish, thoughtful and satisfying (Daily Mail)
Fesperman focuses on Switzerland and Germany and the wartime intrigues of the White Rose student movement, which dared to speak out against Hitler, as he crafts a tale of love, war and betrayal (West Australian)
It goes without saying that Fesperman is a master of orchestrating tension - but he is equally good at characterising his vulnerable, conflicted protagonists (Daily Express on THE AMATEUR SPY)
A superb spy thriller worthy of sharing shelf space with the novels of John le Carré and Ken Follett...darkly imaginative...draws a dramatic portrait (USA Today on THE PRISONER OF GUANTANAMO)
A terrific novel of intrigue, duplicity and death in the shadow of the Khyber Pass...Fesperman is that rare journalist who is also a gifted novelist...first-rate (Washington Post on THE WARLORD'S SON)
An absorbing novel with some provocative commentary on America's war on terror (Susannah Yager, Sunday Telegraph on THE PRISONER OF GUANTANAMO)
Book Description:
Fesperman is the American John le Carré - he writes classy, exciting thrillers with taut plotting and a lot of heart.
