We found this book on a stone bench inside Jefferson Memorial on 14 April 2011 at sunset and took it with us to Stuttgart, Germany, where we will release it again after we have read it. It might take one week or two until we are finished reading it. The story is riveting: it starts in DC and continues in Budapest, Hungary, during the Cold War. We have actually been in Budapest most recently ourselves, although things have changed quite a lot since the Iron Curtain came down more than 20 years ago.

Best wishes from sunny Germany :)

We enjoyed reading "Murder in the CIA" by Margaret Truman and released the book in Lindau, Bavaria, Lake Constance on June 18, 2011.

Happy Reading!
