Description

The worldwide phenomenon from the bestselling author of The Pillars of the Earth, World Without End, A Column of Fire, and The Evening and the Morning

His code name was “The Needle.” He was a German aristocrat of extraordinary intelligence—a master spy with a legacy of violence in his blood, and the object of the most desperate manhunt in history. . . . 
 
But his fate lay in the hands of a young and vulnerable English woman, whose loyalty, if swayed, would assure his freedom—and win the war for the Nazis. . . .

    And I would’ve given Eye of the Needle a fifth star but for the languid, almost glacial pace it took for the narrative to begin. Almost gave up but glad I didn’t.
  • Great read

    This is one of the very best espionage thrillers I have ever read. Right up there with the best of Le Carre.

    This is Ken Follett’s first book and it amazing. Written from the point of view of the spy that is hunted, the investigators and love interest at the end, very unique book. It went by quick but it will always be a book that I remember.
