"An Interlude in Berlin" is the fourth novel I've written about the Cold War.

Berlin was a flash point for the struggle between the West and the Soviets (especially during the Berlin Crisis of 1959-61). It was also a place where there was constant and direct conflict--always a great trigger for storytelling.

From a thematic perspective, I found Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck’s marvelous film "The Lives of Others" (set in 1984), an inspiration when writing "An Interlude in Berlin." It's no coincidence that both stories share an actress named Christa.
