Summary

British agent Bernard Samson is suffering the consequences of having meddled when he was instructed to steer clear. He's on the run from an arrest warrant issued by the Service, naming him a traitor, hiding in Berlin on a run-down, dangerous, dead-end street that crashes up against the Wall. As the weeks pass, Samson slowly realizes that the Service knows where he is; they've even continued to pay his salary. So, when word finally comes that he can return to London--all charges dropped, no board to face, no tribunal--the invitation takes Samson by surprise, but he is much less surprised to learn that the strings attached to this promise of freedom could bind him for life
