Lieutenant Brunel Hopkins has settled into an obscure posting in postwar Germany, guarding old military files and living far from the centre of events. His quiet existence changes when he is drawn into the security arrangements for a secret agreement concerning German reunification. Among powerful people with conflicting agendas, Brunel finds that a seemingly absurd assignment can carry very real dangers. Leslie Thomas mixes bawdy humour, espionage and sudden violence in a novel that moves from the eccentricities of military life to the darker ambitions of international politics, following an unlikely participant through events beyond his control.
