Born to Die in Berlin Alex Carlson

He was the best CIA operative in Berlin. Today, a year after he left the Agency following the brutal murder of his station chief, all Rhys Adler wants is to be left alone in the city he can't tear himself away from. But the new station chief lures him back into service with the promise that stopping a terrorist plot might provide the key to solving his former boss' murder and bringing the killers to justice. EDGE-OF-THE-SEAT READING-A WELL-PLOTTED THRILLER Complicating Adler's return is the new American ambassador in Berlin, who is either treasonously ambitious or quite simply an idiot. Adler can't figure him out, nor does he want to, but the ambassador's actions require Adler's intervention and questions emerge about the ambassador's connection to the plot that Adler is trying to prevent. AS MANY TWISTS AND TURNS AS THE CITY'S STREETS The stakes rise when the local threat proves to have geopolitical implications. As Adler races through the gritty streets and colorful neighborhoods of Berlin, he realizes that nothing is as it seems, making it difficult to decide what his priorities are and where his loyalties lie.
