Intrigue in Berlin. The burglary of the German aircraft designer's safe brings Thomas Elphinstone Hambledon- world famous British agent and spy-catcher-into what seems like a routine case. A case which develops into international dynamite-- involving the Russian MVD, the Bonn Security Police, the Berlin underworld, and the noble Polish family - when the stolen plans turn out to be top secret... With the aid of an engaging German private eye and a quick-witted German war orphan of 14, Tommy begins a hectic adventure through the sinister, bombed-out, zig-zag zones of East and West Berlin-- to uncover a fortune in stolen crown jewels, expose espionage and gangseterism, and solve several murders.
