The Feasts of Lesser Men

Description:

The Berlin Wall has fallen. East and West Germany are discussing reunification. After four and a half decades of cloak-and-dagger intrigue, the Cold War is coming to an end. Not for Jimmy Fisher, an opportunist who has been targeted by foreign agents. Forced to make life-or-death choices in an ever-heightening conflict between his personal safety and the security of his country, Fisher flees to the Vosges Mountains of France with a woman he trusts. In time he learns that love is worthy of a greater conviction than loyalty to one's country, and that abstract symbols and arbitrary boundaries are not worth dying for.
