About this listen

Paul Haydn was on his way home at last, to New York and the civilian life he longed for after years of war. Yet he would never forget the tormented people, desperate for refuge in Berlin. They had survived the war—but now a new, sinister presence threatened them, their families, the whole of society.

Now he discovered that, back home, some of his former colleagues had dangerous political sympathies, that someone was trying to discredit the woman he had once loved. The pattern seemed suddenly familiar. He began to realize why there was such interest in his counter-propaganda skills.

Curious slice of post-war Americana where women are all patient secretaries waiting to be rescued by stern, square-jawed men. Throw in a heavy dose of Cold War paranoia but it all ends up as a leaden political lecture.

Not much spy in this ‘spy’ novel.

Days of our lives meets Dick Tracy. Do yourself a favour and watch grass grow. Preferable to this predictable and boring story. I felt sorry for the poor soul who had to record this.
