The Berlin Wall is crumbling, and with it comes the threat of a Soviet bio-weapons program that could bring the Cold War to an explosive end.

Faust finds himself entangled in a web of CIA secrets, anonymous threats, and a Soviet plot to launch a biological weapon on the American Embassy. With the stability of West Berlin on the line, Faust must risk all to stop the deadly pathogen from being released on innocent civilians. It's a race against the clock, and the stakes couldn't be higher.

Review: "Where the Checkpoint Series All Began...In this prequel to her Checkpoint, Berlin Detective Series, Michele E. Gwynn has spun a heart-pounding tale of Cold War intrigue...artfully recalling a darker age of Russian agents and secret plots that, until recently, we thought was gone forever with the fall of the Berlin Wall. I loved the suspense, the intrigue and the way Gwynn builds the relationships between Faust, his wife and the stalwart Joseph Heinz, and I heartily recommend it to any fan of police stories and Cold War spy novels."
