At the height of the Cold War, British Intellegence discovers evidence that suggests Soviet missiles are being positioned close to the German border. With no active agents available to investigate, Fred Leiser must be called back to the colors and sent East. Once behind the Iron Curtain, Leiser meets a sympathetic German girl who tries to help him to evade the East German secret police and to complete his assignment.

A tense, cold-war spy thriller from the pen of John Le Carre. The plot revolves around a secret service scheme to send a young Pole into East Germany to find a top secret film.

From the John le Carre novel about a British spy who sends a Polish defector to East Germany to verify missile sites.
