  • "The friends of the title are Ted Mundy, British soldier's born 1947 in a new independent Pakistan, and Sasha, refugee son of an East German Lutheran pastor and his wife who have sought sanctuary in the West. The two men meet as students in the riot-torn West Berlin of the late Sixties, again in the grimy looking glass of Cold War espionage and, most terribly, in today's world of terror. Spanning fifty-six years, this is a savage fable of our times."

  • "A ferocious new novel from the master: when a man's good heart is his worst enemy. By chance and not by choice, Ted Mundy, eternal striver, failed writer, and expatriate son of a British Army officer, used to be a spy. But that was in the good old Cold War days when a cinder-block wall divided Berlin and the enemy was easy to recognize. Today, Mundy is a down-at-heel tour guide in southern Germany, dodging creditors, supporting a new family, and keeping an eye out for trouble while in spare moments vigorously questioning the actions of the country he once bravely served. And trouble finds him, as it has before, in the shape of his old German student friend, radical, and one-time fellow spy, the crippled Sasha, seeker after absolutes, dreamer, and chaos addict."@en
