Nightfall Berlin: ‘For those who enjoy vintage Le Carre’ Ian Rankin: Tom Fox Trilogy

Autor Jack Grimwood
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 oct 2018

Berlin, 1986. O misiune clară. Un dezertor care vrea acasă. O capcană mortală. Remarcăm cum Jack Grimwood transformă finalul Războiului Rece într-un teren de vânătoare claustrofobic în Nightfall Berlin. Maiorul Tom Fox intră ilegal în Berlinul de Est, dar linia dintre aliat și inamic se șterge instantaneu. Misiunea e compromisă. Fox e singur. Stasi e pe urmele lui. Londra îl vrea mort. Tensiunea este palpabilă: fiecare colț de stradă gri ascunde o amenințare, iar fiecare minut de libertate este un împrumut cu dobândă sângeroasă. Considerăm că forța acestui roman stă în ritmul său neiertător și în atmosfera grea, aproape tactilă, a unei Germanii divizate. Ca și The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, explorează cinismul brutal al spionajului de modă veche, dar dintr-o perspectivă mult mai dinamică, unde supraviețuirea fizică primează în fața jocurilor politice abstracte. Notăm o evoluție clară față de Moskva; dacă acolo autorul construia un fundal istoric dens, aici Jack Grimwood accelerează narațiunea, transformând spionajul într-o cursă contra cronometru. Fox nu trebuie doar să scape din Berlinul de Est; el trebuie să afle cine l-a vândut înainte ca Zidul să devină propriul său mormânt. Este un thriller de spionaj care nu oferă momente de respiro, unde loialitatea este o monedă fără valoare.
