Bajo el tórrido calor veraniego, mientras las calles de la capital bullen de espías e informadores, el final de partida de la guerra del espionaje se libra en silencio. Los alemanes disponen de tecnología y conocimientos atómicos. Los aliados están decididos a que los rumores de un "arma secreta" no lleguen a materializarse. Andrea Aspinall, matemática y espía, entra en este mundo sofisticado a través de una acaudalada familia de Estoril. Karl Voss, agregado militar de la Legación Alemana, ha llegado, reconcomido por su implicación en el asesinato de un Reichsminister y traumatizado por Stalingrado, con la misión de salvar a Alemania de la aniquilación. A complex story set across several periods from WWII Lisbon, where Andrea Aspinall is sent by SIS as a young spy to periods 20 or more years later. The relationships she forged in the hot-bed of spies which was WWII Lisbon inform and control her life until the end. Interesting characters seamlessly interwoven with real historical action raises this above the crowd. Recommended. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML:The award-winning author of A Small Death in Lisbon brings an exciting richness to the long shadow of evil in this crackling new novel of spycraft and international intrigue. Lisbon, 1944: Andrea Aspinall, plucked out of academia by British intelligence so that her mathematical knowledge might help in the hunt for atomic secrets, disappears under a new identity in Lisbon, where such secrets are easily bought and sold. Karl Voss, already experienced in the illusions of intrigue when he arrives in Lisbon, is an attache at the German Legation, though he is secretly working against the Nazis to rescue Germany from annihilation. After a night of terrible violence, Andrea creates a family for herself from Voss's memory and the clandestine world they knew. In Portugal, in England, and in the chilly world of Cold War Berlin, she discovers that the deepest secrets aren't held by governments-and that death is a relative term. In The Company of Strangers, Robert Wilson takes the chilling irony of "secret intelligence" to a new and more poignant human level, as he shows that the heart is both more knowing and more secretive than the mind.
