Nightfall Berlin

Summary

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Nightfall Berlin by Jack Grimwood, read by Daniel Weyman.

Trapped in East Berlin, hunted by an army of Stasi agents and wanted for murder by those on both sides of the Wall, Fox must somehow elude capture and get out alive.

But to do so he must discover who sabotaged his mission and why...
