1986, the Cold War is thawing . . .
But not for British intelligence officer Major Tom Fox. Smuggled into East Berlin, Fox's orders are clear: repatriate a remorseful defector.
But they are less clear about what to do when his mission is compromised.

To do both he must discover who sabotaged his mission - and why . . .

Le

Moskva was one of the most impressive spy thrillers of 2016 . . .Nightfall Berlin is even better. Grimwood's portrayal of dark and frightening East Berlin is excellent and he is skilful at describing the politics of espionage
A gripping Cold War tale that manages to be original as well as give a nod to classic John Le Carre
The atmosphere and tensionperfectly pitched this excellent Cold War thriller withmemorablewell-drawn characters iscompulsive reading
Atwisty tale of Cold War conflict, which sees tormented intelligence officer Tom Fox caught up ina dark story of establishment lies and long-buried secrets
A book thatpulls you in, teaches you something and gives you a protagonist you can't get enough of... If you liked Ian McEwan'sThe Innocent, you'll love this evocation of Berlin at the other end of the Cold War
The new Le Carre . . . an absolutely brilliant page turner . . . if you love thrillers, Jack Grimwood is a name you need to remember
Nightfall Berlinis justfabulous. Soatmospheric, so elegantly written. The character, Major Tom Fox is intriguing... like Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch, or like early le Carre.Ireallyrecommend it. I just disappeared into it totally.
A gripping Cold War thrillerwhere life hangs by a thread. Dark secrets from the lawless rubble of WW2 threaten world peace and the family of British spy Tom Fox. After the success ofMoskva, Grimwood works his magic on the grey but edgy streets of East Berlin.A powerful, addictive, twisty talewhere no-one can be trusted.
Spring's best thriller
Note-perfect ...Jack Grimwood is about to become your new favourite thriller writer
Anextraordinarily atmospheric and immersiveread ... escapism at its best
Therejuvenation of the espionage thriller continues apace with Nightfall Berlin
The thriller of the summer... Grimwood raises the stakes in thisdark, twisty tale of Cold War conflict
The superior spy thriller of the year. Le Carré fans will be delighted
Mesmerising, surefooted, vividly realised . . . something special in the arena of international thrillers
A compulsive and supremely intelligent thriller from a master stylist
Even better thanChild 44 . . .A blizzard of exciting set pieces, superbly realized
Grimwood is a damned fine writer
The writing is elegant, the dialogue razor sharp, the characters drawn economically but effectively, and the action is unrelenting
