THE BERLIN EXCHANGE

Set against the backdrop of 1960s Berlin at the height of the Cold War, this audiobook features Martin Keller as he takes part in a spy swap. As a result, he is moved from an English prison to Berlin, where he hopes to be reunited with his ex-wife and son. Narrator Jonathan Davis helps build the tension, creating a dark atmosphere of suspicion and suspense. His strong characterizations help listeners keep track of the story's principals.
