 Book Log 2019 #9: Lehrter Station by David Downing

With World War II over, journalist/spy John Russell appears to finally be out, as he's escaped Germany with his girlfriend and son and looks ready to start over in London. At least until Russell's Soviet handler shows up to tell him he needs to accept an upcoming offer from American intelligence to return to Germany. Considering what Russell did for the Soviets in order to buy his way out of Berlin, he's not in a position to decline.

This wasn't the best book in the series, but I was interested to see how things would transition into the Cold War. It also does a good job of setting up the series finale.
