A captivating thriller novel set in wartime London about the dangers of deception and loyalty in love

Two strangers are about to meet. Between them they may alter the course of the war.

London, 1941. The city is in blackout and an enemy is hiding in plain sight. Jack Hoste has become entangled in a national treachery, his mission: to locate the most dangerous Nazi agent in the country.

He soon receives a promising lead. Amy Strallen whose life is a world away from the machinations of Nazi sympathisers. But when Hoste pays a visit to Amy’s office, everything changes in a heartbeat.

Breathtakingly tense and trip-wired with surprises, Our Friends in Berlin is a story about deception and loyalty – and about what it means to be in love yet watch each other like spies.

"[A] gripping espionage thriller...An addictive cocktail of action, romance and politics."
Observer

"Our Friends in Berlin brings to the fore all of Quinn's talents – gripping storylines, plot twists, thorough research and elegant prose."
The Times

"An eye for a plot, a profound gift for character and a faultless sense of period and place: Anthony Quinn was always going to write first-rate thrillers, and Our Friends in Berlin is pure pleasure."
David Hare

"Those in search of a smart, tautly rendered, atmospheric beach read should pack a copy now."
Metro

"The best spy novel set in wartime London. A masterpiece...Anthony's book is wonderful. He is a master at creating page-turning tension. Our Friends in Berlin grips the reader from the very first page and won't let go. Good authors create period authenticity; superb authors add their own creative mood music to that. Anthony Quinn's Blitz-battered London is more than black out curtains, blast tape and wrecked buildings, it is an eerie setting of Hitchcockian menace"
Edward Wilson, author of A Very British Ending
