Discharged from the British Army in disgrace, Johnny Donoghue is eager to redeem himself. His task is to slip undercover into East Germany and persuade a prominent scientist working on Soviet missile systems to defect.But no one warns Johnny of the dangers involved in crossing the border, nor can he ever imagine the effect the actions of fickle politicians will have on his task.

Nothing can prepare Johnny for the impact of the momentous decision the scientist will be forced to make, and no one could have predicted the involvement of the scientist’s headstrong daughter . . .

Reviews

<i>Financial Times</i>
Very good... This novel outclasses the thriller genre
<i>Guardian</i>
Hyper-suspenseful... Not to be missed'
<i>Observer</i>
Superior quality... Taps more than just adrenalin
<i>Sunday Independent</i>
Tension alone would make The Contract an unusually satisfying thriller. In addition it has characters simply but deftly drawn... The writing is crisp and confident
