Bonn: a small provincial town elevated by the Cold War to the artificial status of a capital city of British diplomats, their wives and aspiring German politicians. While the Foreign Office is locked in a last desperate battle to enter the Common Market, while the new Germany is being carried away on a rising tide of student-bourgeois nationalism, an aging Second Secretary vanishes from the British Embassy. Leo Harting: and he has taken with him, apparently official files which if disclosed could ruin Britain's chances at the negotiating table. Alan Turner, a tough investigator from London is sent to find him and pursue Harting's past: the institutions which employed or rejected him; the women and men who loved, trusted or despised him; and there's a refugee background to check out as well. It is vital that the Germans do not learn that Harting is missing nor that there's been a leak. With radical students and neo-Nazis rioting and critical negotiations under way in Brussels, the timing could not be worse and that's probably not an accident... -
The French Revolution - a time of great change and great danger; a time when injustice was met by a blood-lust for vengeance - and rarely was a distinction made between the innocent and the guilty. This tumultuous historical event is the setting for Dickens' story of unsurpassed adventure and courage. Unjustly imprisoned for 18 years in the Bastille, Dr. Alexandre Manette is reunited with his daughter, Lucie, and safely transported from France to England. It would seem that they could take up the threads of their lives in peace. As fate would have it, the pair are summoned to the Old Bailey to testify against a young Frenchman - Charles Darnay - falsely accused of treason. Yet - strangely enough - Darnay bears an uncanny resemblance to the dissolute lawyer's clerk, Sydney Carton. Can this resemblance save Darnay? Brilliantly plotted, a story rich in drama, romance and bravery.
