Description

Format: Paperback, 496pp. ISBN: 0156027100 The stifling summer streets of Lisbon are teeming with spies and informers when Andrea Aspinall, an English mathematician turned spy, disappears under a new identity. Military attachT Karl Voss, experienced in the illusions of intrigue, arrives in Lisbon under the German Legation, though he is secretly working against the Nazis so that atomic and rocket technology do not find their way into Hitler's hands.In the lethal tranquility of a corrupted paradise Andrea and Karl meet and attempt to find love. Tragically, a night of violence leaves Andrea the keeper of a secret that triggers a lifelong addiction to the clandestine world. From Portugal to England and finally Cold War Berlin, she gradually discovers that the deepest secrets aren't held by governments, but by those closest to you.Award-winning novelist Robert Wilson transcends the genre of spy novels in The Company of Strangers , a thrilling page-turner yet also an imaginative and affecting tale of romance.Author Biography: Robert Wilson is the author of five previous novels, including A Small Death in Lisbon , which won the Gold Dagger Award as Best Crime Novel of the Year from Britain's Crime Writers Association. A graduate of Oxford University, he has worked in shipping, advertising, and trading in Africa, and has lived in Greece and West Africa. He currently lives with his wife in an isolated farmhouse in Portugal.
