Reward for a Defector

Agent or traitor? Killer or victim? Kurte Menke is a refugee from the East ... or is he? Once they had been friends - long ago in Berlin before the wall was built. Now for fifteen years their friendship has totalled a card at Christmas. But a late-night phone call brings Charles Ashmore a respectable London solicitor and Kurte Menke an East German defector together again. Is it just chance that Kurt''s reappearance coincides with the trial of an English spy - a trial that Charles is defending? And who sends the mysterious attackers to Charles''s cottage? Is it the Germans the British or somebody else?
