Book description
Bernard Samson returns to Berlin in the final novel in the classic spy
trilogy, FAITH, HOPE and CHARITY
Bernard continues to chip away at the mystery of his sister-in-law
Tessa Kosinski's death in Berlin on the crucial night when his wife
Fiona was brought out of the East. Fighting to uncover the truth, he
must also confront the key relationships in his own life: Fiona is still
far from stable now that she has returned to work, and their children
remain in the clutches of his wealthy and manipulative father-in-law.
Meanwhile, Werner Volkmann, Bernard's friend since childhood, is
reluctant to get involved in Bernard's crusade.
A wonderful depiction both of covert operations and office politics,
Charity is packed with action, incident and intrigue, bringing to a
triumphant conclusion a series of ten novels that represents one of the
great acheivements of modern English fiction.
This reissue includes a foreword from the cover designer, Oscar-winning
filmmaker Arnold Schwartzman, and a brand new introduction by Len
