World-renowned violinist Leslie Frost doubles as an American spy. Living in Germany as the Berlin Wall crumbles, she sees East German official Emil Flick murder a policeman. Her investigation of this incident reveals a plan to resurrect Nazi Germany with the help of computers, lasers, and armed satellites. The James Bond-like heroine finds enemy agents as attractive as they find her; she has passionate affairs, first with the dangerous Flick, then with Toby Chance, a sound engineer who may not be what he seems. Concert pianist and novelist Weber has written a fast-paced thriller that won't stimulate deep thinking but will make a good companion on a rainy day.
