The Berlin Directive

A Cold War espionage thriller set in the shadowed streets of East Berlin, 1983. In a city torn by barbed wire and ideology, betrayal runs deeper than the Wall. CIA field operative Logan Briggs, battle-hardened from Saigon to Tehran, is summoned to West Berlin for a mission cloaked in secrets and layered in lies. A high-value KGB defector-Viktor Kasprov-has surfaced, offering microfilm and an encrypted ledger capable of exposing deeply embedded Soviet moles within Western intelligence.
But in Cold War Berlin, where everyone is being watched, no extraction is simple-and no ally is entirely trusted. What begins as a high-stakes rendezvous spirals into a relentless cat-and-mouse chase through the decaying ruins and tight alleys of East Berlin. From abandoned printing presses and underground U-Bahn tunnels to sniper nests in Tierpark and smuggler routes through the Alps, Logan must rely on old instincts, forged documents, and a silenced Walther PPK.
But as he gets closer to revealing the truth behind the ledger, a more disturbing reality surfaces-someone inside Langley has orchestrated the entire operation. Operation Eclipse wasn't about stopping a leak; it was designed to control it. Surrounded by shifting allegiances and tightening nooses, Logan joins forces with a sharp-witted resistance courier, and races to decode the truth before it's buried-or he is.
As double agents are unmasked and a conspiracy threatens to unravel the global balance of power, Logan must choose: vanish into the ether as a ghost. or bring the whole house of cards down. The Berlin Directive is a labyrinthine espionage thriller, rich in atmosphere, tension, and betrayal. Set at the height of Cold War paranoia in 1983, it plunges readers deep into a fractured Berlin, where survival depends on staying one step ahead of friend and foe alike.
For fans of John le Carré, Robert Ludlum, and Greg Rucka, this is spy fiction at its most gripping-and most human.
