Publisher's Summary:
An old flames fiancé is missing, and only Drum can save him from the Soviets.
Chester Drum will never love another woman the way he loves Marianne. After years of on-and-off romance, he tells her that his work as a private detective is too dangerous for him to ever marry, so she ends the affair and moves to West Berlin, to report on the Cold War from its front lines. There she falls in love with Quentin Hammond, ace foreign correspondent, and Drum is happy for her until her new man disappears behind the Iron Curtain.

Before they could complete their audacious scheme, though, the Stasi kidnapped them. Only Drum has the skills to go behind the wall and return with the man whos stolen the woman he loves.

A Cold War Adventure
Having toured Berlin last year and seen nothing but a few remnants of the wall remaining -- remnants preserved for the tourists to gape it, it is hard to imagine what Berlin was like after the wall went up in the early sixties, how the city was divided into the sector of freedom and the sector of totalitarian imprisonment. Thousands of people tried to win their way over that wall to freedom.
This, the sixteenth Chester Drum novel, is an ode to freedom and to those who fought the Soviets and their vassal states. It is a terrific piece of historical fiction and would make a terrific movie. All of the action takes place in the divided city of 1960's Berlin. It is a world starkly divided where people in the East were not free to leave and a city filled with countless spies and double agents, brother against brother, friend against friend. Drum flies there to effect a rescue across the Iron Curtain. -- beyond the Wall.
It is a story that is an espionage/ war story not a detective novel. It is a story of daring exploits and amazing heroic deeds.
In it, Marlowe paints a picture of the Berlin filled with agencies and spies none trusting each other and none sure of who has sold out whom or why. It is a world of strange nightclubs and buxom blonde Valkyries and reporters eager for scoops.
It is a terrific read, well-paced, well-written and filled with more action than novels three times its length.
