"Dark star ... set in the period of the Stalinist purges ... captures not only the intrigue and danger of clandestine life but the ennui, the bureaucratic infighting, the seediness of cheap rooms, the hasty moments of furtive sex, and the moral compromises of a life whose only goal becomes surviving a world where nothing is clear and betrayal is as common as death"--Publisher description.

  • "Paris, Moscow, Berlin and Prague, 1937. In the back alleys and glittering salons of night time Europe, war is already underway as the Soviet NKVD and the Nazi Gestapo confront each other in a brilliant duel of espionage. Into the fray comes André Szara, foreign correspondent for Pravda and spy. Deputy of the Paris network, Szara finds his own star rising when he recruits an agent in Berlin who can supply crucial information. Dark Star captures not only the intrigue and danger of clandestine life but the day-to-day reality of what Soviet operatives call "special work"."
