"Bernard Samson had been behind a desk in Whitehall for five years when his bosses decided that he was the right man to slip into East Berlin and talk Brahms Four out of doing something disastrous. Berlin was the city he grew up in, the place he still loved like a mistress, and some of the members of the Berlin Network were men he'd known since they were streetwise Berlin schoolboys. But Samson knew there were few people he could trust, either in Berlin or at home. Too many missions had gone wrong; too many secrets leaked. Somewhere - somewhere nearer to the heart of things than he'd like to believe - there was the stink of betrayal." 2. Mexico Set - 381 pp, 1984, ISBN 0091586100. "Bernard Samson follows his prey from the stinking heat of the Mexican jungle to the chilly streets of Berlin. His adversary is Erich Stinnes, the KGB major who had arrested him in East Berlin. (With) his domestic life in a shambles and his career heading for disaser, (Samson) has to contend with the hard-eyed desk men who give him his orders. Only after two men have been murdered and old enemies collide in a bloody and chaotic showdown is the confrontation finally resolved." 3. London Match - 405 pp, 1985, ISBN 0091618908. "When KGB Major Erich Stinnes defected to the West he should have been handed over to MI5, and the story should have been over for Bernard Samson. But Samson's bosses find an excuse to hold him for questioning, and some of his answers point to a possibility that could tear the department to pieces. Samson must return to Berlin to investigate. Against the sad, anxious background music of his own personal life, he must pick his way across a minefield of deception that all to often explodes in terrible violence until, finally, he confronts the question that has tested his heart and his mind almost to breaking point." 1.
