ZOO STATION
Book ID/图书代码： 06580013B66908
English Summary/英文概要： ‘Smooth, scary, wartime thriller drenched in period atmosphere’. Kirkus Reviews
‘One of the most intelligent and persuasive realizations of Germany immediately before the war.’Wall Street Journal
‘A deeply satisfying, suspenseful novel, Zoo Station touches on the personal side of war, the importance of telling the truth, and the necessity or doing what is right. David Downing’s writing is intelligent and strong; his portrayal of issues and conflicts, clear and compelling. His vivid descriptions of the locales and people of 1939 Germany and Poland, are accurate and reminiscent of Helen MacInnes. His imagery is so evocative that readers will feel they are watching a classic film, like Casablanca.’Jackie Houchin, Mystery Scene
‘If you like your tales spiced with morally ambiguous characters right out of Graham Greene, this is a train you need to be aboard… It’s a thriller that maintains its suspense through the machinations of character, rather than base-level action set-pieces, and is a marvellous return to cerebral espionage’. Stephen Miller, January Magazine
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在1939年之前，英裔美国记者约翰・拉塞尔在柏林已经呆了十多个年头，他的儿子与母亲同住。他为英国和美国报纸撰写一些当时人们感兴趣的文摘，这样可以避免因被当局调查性新闻业而被递解出境。但随着二战的逐渐临近，他面临着不得不抛下儿子和他维持了多年关系的女友，一个美丽的德国小明星的抉择。
当一位他相识的多年从事共产主义的熟人接近他，让他为苏维埃做一些事情时，拉塞尔勉为其难的答应了，他无法抗拒这个提议。他渐渐介入了其他一些危险活动，帮助犹太家庭和一位坚定的年轻美国记者。当英国和纳粹注意到他与苏维埃的暧昧关系时，拉塞尔被拽入了敌对国之间情报战的黑暗世界之中。(Sandy)
