The Berlin Assignment

Not long after the fall of the Berlin Wall, with a new order in full swing, Canada’s new consul Anthony Hanbury arrives to assume his diplomatic duties. He quickly develops contacts, makes friends, and rises in Berlin society. But is his progress as innocent as it seems? Cold War spies still active in the city assemble a dossier, and the suspicions which accumulate soon threaten to destroy the consul.

Borderless Deceit

A virus destroys the communication network of the Canadian diplomatic service. Both Carson Pryce, a reclusive intelligence analyst, and Rachel Dunn, a brilliant diplomat with a glowing track record for humanitarian interventions, become suspects. In a world where privacy has disappeared, and where hackers circle each other in cyberspace, is there space for a rekindling of humanity’s enduring values?

Natalia's Peace

Just north of the city a private plane crashes in a dense North Sea fog. The sole passenger, though badly injured, survives. His calling card identifies him, but it shows only his name and an acronym: P.E.A.C.E. That same week a secret diplomatic initiative is launched in The Hague. Its objective is to identify far-reaching, new international initiatives to advance global peace.

Those who enjoyed Adrian de Hoog’s debut novel The Berlin Assignment (and I was one) will be happy to know that in Borderless Deceit he returns to successfully mine the apparently plot-rich world of Canadian intelligence.
