A Patriot in Berlin

A Patriot In Berlin is the dramatic story of Berlin after the fall of the Wall, and Moscow after Gorbachev - of love, faith and patriotism in conflict. Berlin, August 1991. An emigre Russian couple are found murdered. American art historian Francesca McDermott is recruited to organise a major retrospective of 20th century Russian painting. In Moscow, the search begins for a rogue former KGB agent, Andrei Orlov, who has disappeared without trace. Three seemingly unconnected events.... Working alongside Francesca is a Russian expert on the art that Communism dismissed as `decadent`. Serotkin is combative, attractive, mysterious; he is also secretive, and his secrets hold lives to ransom.
