Joe Wilderness is a global War II orphan, a condition that he considers excuses him from common morality. Pet cat burglar, card pointed, and Cockney vast boy, the last thing he would like is to get drafted. But, in 1946, he discovers himself in the Royal Air Force, facing a stretch in military jail...when along comes Lt Colonel Burne-Jones to simply tell him MI6 has better use for his talents. Put up to occupied Berlin, interrogating ex-Nazis, and burgling the unusual apartment for MI6, Wilderness discovers himself with time on his hands and the devil making work. He falls in with Frank, a US Army captain, with Eddie, a United kingdom artilleryman, and with Yuri, a major in the NKVD, and, alongside one another, they lift the dark market fraud to a fresh level. Coffee never tasted so nice. And he falls for Nell Breakheart, a German female who has observed the most detrimental that Germany could do and it is influenced by all the scruples that Wilderness lacks. Fifteen years later, June 1963. Wilderness is free-lance and down on his good fortune. A gumshoe scraping by on cases of divorce. Frank is a big shot on Madison Avenue, baking up one previous Berlin scam...that he needs Wilderness once again. Only now they're not smuggling coffee, they're smuggling people. And Nell? Nell is on the personnel of Western Berlin's mayor Willy Brandt, planning the state visit of the very most powerful man on the globe: "Ich bin ein Berliner!" Then We Take Berlin is a gripping, meticulously investigated and richly precise historical thriller - a moving history of espionage and war, and people caught up in the most tumultuous occasions of the 21st century.
