Description
Germany between the wars: political chaos and extremism, a society of corruption, despair and anger – the breeding ground for Fascism and revolution.
Johnny Lentz, out of idealism and from bitter personal experience, becomes a Communist. He learns to fight, to sabotage and to organise. He learns also to love – first with the wildcat Helene, then with her disturbingly beautiful, Sigrid. Two women who will haunt him down the years of violence and deception. For Johnny sees the revolution betrayed.
A squalid welter of plot and counter-plot, of manipulation and murder, culminates in Stalin’s pact with Hitler. Appalled, Johnny decides to become a double-agent, just as he is sent to Brazil to held organise the first Communist revolution in the New World.
And in Brazil, exotic, dangerous and alien, all the demons from his past catch up with him in a terrifying spiral of intrigue and death.
