The Linden Affair — Martha Albrand

IN THE SHADOW OF THE IRON CURTAIN.
Set in post-war Munich, this is the strange story of a brave and beautiful girl of 20 -- a university student -- and a young U.S. intelligence agent, posing as a reporter for the Munich news.
They risk their lives in a case involving:
The return of the girl's famous and honored father from a Russian prison.
The inexplicable murder of her mother.
The abduction of a brilliant Czech scientist.
The framing of an innocent young member of the Bavarian Security Office...
and they fall in love in an atmosphere of mounting suspicion, terror and violence.
