Publisher's Synopsis
Dr Rudi Rosenharte - once a double agent, now an art historian living quietly in Dresden - is summoned to Trieste for a rendezvous with former lover and colleague, Annalise Schering. But Rosenharte knows she's dead: he'd seen her himself, lying in her own bloodied bathwater. So who is this woman?...Stasi intelligence believes she's the real Annalise and that she has vital information to impart to Rosenharte. To ensure that Rosenharte plays their game, they have imprisoned his family and will only release them when Rudi has got the information they so desperately seek. But the Stasi is not the only intelligence organisation with its claws in Rudi Rosenharte. He must face a stark choice: to leave those he loves to the mercy of the Stasi; or to return to East Germany to carry out a dangerous assignment under the state's auspicious eye.
