Joseph Kanon

Joseph Kanon writes historical espionage fiction set in the immediate postwar world, evoking the moral devastation of a Europe still reeling from war with extraordinary atmospheric skill. Istanbul Passage and The Good German are among the finest historical spy novels of recent decades. His work captures the moment when the Cold War began with great literary conviction.
