Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Other than some editing issues which need to be cleaned up, I think Smoke and Mirrors is a good book and definitely an interesting story if you take it as that, just a story. I'm sure there is accurate information in there as far as locales go, since Mr. Starmann was in Berlin and knows his way around, but the book is fiction and should be taken that way. There are several story lines that hold your attention and keep you reading. The characters range from crazy to outrageous to heart warming but they are all entertaining. A very good read.

Berlin, 1978: as the Cold War rages, the intelligence officers of the United States Military Liaison Mission hunt for the newest Soviet tank, the T-80. After two deaths and near disaster, they realize a mole works among them, a spy who reports to Markus Wolf, Chief of East German Intelligence. As the hunt for the T-80 continues, the mole continues to damage "The Mission" as much as possible, while counter-intelligence vows to stop him at all costs. Meanwhile, the so-called PX Bandits loot Germany six ways from Sunday. But, Army CID is just one step behind them. Little do the thieves know that they will help allied intelligence in a way they could never have imagined.
