Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Broke and working as a tour guide in Germany, rootless Englishman Ted Mundy catches a glimpse of an old friend hiding in the shadows. A friend he thought was lost to him. A friend who took him from radical 1960s Berlin to life as a double agent. Now, decades later, the Cold War is over and the war on terror has begun. Sasha has another mission for them both, but this time it is impossible to tell the difference between allies - and enemies.

Set in a world of lies and shifting allegiances, Absolute Friends is a savage fable of our times.

'One of his most enthralling creations' Daily Telegraph

This was a really good listen- dealt with a wide range of modern issues with an unlikely hero. Story structure was well designed. Only 4 stars due to the ending which lacked the inventiveness of the rest of the story. Very well read. It will be a while before Ted and Sasha move out of my consciousness.
