"A bit of a masterpiece... reminded me of John Le Carré in its very plausible complexity, but a lot more engaging and exciting." — Alan Moore (Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Batman: The Killing Joke) THE ORIGINAL GRAPHIC NOVEL THAT INSPIRED THE MOVIE! November 1989. MI6 spy Lorraine Broughton was sent to Berlin to investigate the death of another agent, and the disappearance of a list revealing every spy working there. She found a powder keg of mistrust, assassinations and bad defections that ended with the murder of MI6's top officer, as the Berlin Wall was torn down. Now Lorraine has returned from the Cold War's coldest city, to tell her story. And nothing is what it seems. Don't miss the thrilling sequel, The Coldest Winter, available now.

Dark and gritty visuals as well as ‘plane jane' characters give it what was most likely a more accurate picture to the business than James Bond movies portray.

Or was it more of a “young man's game” as the movie portrays.Regardless, the plot is definitely convoluted and requires multiple read thrus to grasp the logic along the way, much like the above mentioned series.
