SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE! November 1989. MI6 spy Lorraine Broughton was sent to Berlin to investigate the death of another agent, and the disappearance of a list revealing every spy working there. She found a powder keg of mistrust, assassinations and bad defections that ended with the murder of MI6's top officer, as the Berlin Wall was torn down. Now Lorraine has returned from the Cold War's coldest city, to tell her story. And nothing is what it seems.
As I mentioned, with so many books gaining a film release, I decided to check out the trailers for the movie to give me some context. What I found was an action film, touted a the “next John Wick”, with explosive violence, Hollywood lesbians, thigh high boots and a blonde star. The film looks so dramatically different from this book, that if anyone buys this book after seeing the film they may well face the biggest disappointment since buying The Killing Joke graphic after seeing the movie and expecting to see a Batgirl story. I am all for artistic licence, but could this be seen as a case for the Trade Discrimination Act! Ploughing through this book, I am left weary and unmoved, not the greatest experiences to be had in thecomic book world. Read Full Review
