In Cold War Berlin, the great powers are outmaneuvered by the actions of the Master Whose Tracks Are Lost in the Fog, a kind of double—or triple… or multiple—agent whose task is to bring order to the chaos of the era. The spy, as might be expected, falls in love with Irina Tchernova, a Soviet agent who is also not what she seems.
The story of the naval captain entrusted by NATO with a delicate mission, of the Soviet agent Irina, and of a scientist secluded in a sanatorium who resembles a literary character, can be read as a thrilling tale of crime, espionage, and adventure. But it also conceals a metaphor for the fragile line separating the real from the true and imaginary, as well as a vision of the falsehoods or improbabilities of history and the servitudes of scientific progress and other contemporary myths.
