Moscow, the Cold War, 1961. Stalin has been dead for eight years. With the launch of Sputnik, the Soviet Union's international prestige is at an all-time high. Former CIA agent Francis 'Frank' Weeks, the most notorious of the defectors to the Soviet Union, is about to publish his memoirs, and what he reveals is reportedly going to send shock waves through the West. Weeks' defection in the early 1950s shook Washington to its core - his betrayal rippled through the State Department, prompting frantic searches for moles and forcing the resignation of Simon, Frank's brother and best friend.
So when a Soviet agency approaches Simon, now a publisher in New York City, with a controversial proposition to publish his brother's memoirs, he finds the offer irresistible since it will finally give him the chance to learn why his brother chose to betray his country. But what he discovers in Moscow is far more than he ever imagined ...

Paperback. Zustand: Good. 290 pages. cover has price stickerFrom the bestselling author of Leaving Berlin and The Good German comes a fast-p aced and richly imagined novel about an American spy, the Cold War's most notori ous defector, who gave up his country for the safety--and prison--of Moscow, but never lost his gift for betrayal. In 1949, Frank Weeks, fair-haired boy of the newly formed CIA, was exposed as a Communist spy and fled the country to vanish behind the Iron Curtain. Now, twelve years later, he has written his memoirs, a KGB- approved project almost certain to be an international bestseller, and has asked his brother Simon, a publisher, to come to Moscow to edit the manuscript. It's a reunion Simon both dreads and longs for. The book is sure to be filled wi th mischief and misinformation; Frank's motives suspect, the CIA hostile. But th e chance to see Frank, his adored older brother, proves irresistible. And at fir st Frank is still Frank--the same charm, the same jokes, the same bond of affect ion that transcends ideology. Then Simon begins to glimpse another Frank, still capable of treachery, still actively working for the service. He finds himself dragged into the middle of Frank's new scheme, caught between the KGB and the C IA in a fatal cat and mouse game that only one of the brothers is likely to surv ive. Defectors is the gripping story of one family torn apart by the divided loy alties of the Cold War, but it's also a revealing look at the wider community of defectors, American and British, living a twilit Moscow existence, granted priv ileges but never trusted, spies who have escaped one prison only to find themsel ves trapped in another that is even more sinister. Filled with authentic period detail and moral ambiguity, Defectors takes us to the heart of a world of secret. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 4884aa
