Berlin, early on 1948: The town, still occupied by the four Allied power, still generally in ruins, is among the most cockpit of a new Cold War, and since spring and coil unfolds its German inhabitants stay in fear of the Soviets enforcing a American withdrawal. Here, as anywhere else in European countries, the legacies of the Warfare have become entangled in the new Soviet-American conflict, creating a world of bizarre and fleeting loyalties, a heaven for spies. John Russell works for both Stalin's NKVD and the newly-created CIA. He does only a small amount for either as he can safely and securely get away with, and between the tawdry responsibilities they arranged him - assessing dubious defectors in Trieste, owning a spy diamond ring in a Berlin VD clinic, rescuing ex-Nazis who might prove useful from Czechoslovakia - he seeks a way to lower himself loose. His spouse Effi Koenen comes with an easier time, starring in a favorite radio series and looking after their adopted little princess Rosa, until a woman she helped save in the Warfare turns up on her doorstep, and admits to a child she left behind those years before, a child now captured behind the new iron curtain.
