A Joe Wilderness novelThorndike press large print thriller

"In divided Berlin, Joe Wilderness smuggled coffee into the East, a rather profitable racket until he had to transport something else-a spy. After an aborted mission on Berlin's famous "Bridge of Spies," Wilderness is both punished and kept out of trouble with a posting to remote northern Finland. Wilderness finds another way to make money, this time by bringing vodka across the rather porous border into the USSR. But with MI6 intelligence from London pointing to the refining of cobalt in the region, Wilderness's posting is getting more interesting by the minute. And when he gets sent to Prague, even the enterprising Wilderness may be out of his depth. With old friends and old enemies alike turning up in Prague, deception and danger are around every corner"--Provided by publisher
