The coldest city

The coldest city / Antony Johnston, illustrated by Sam Hart, 171 pgs.

With the Berlin Wall coming down in the background, this cold war spy tale has a British agent in Berlin.  Trying to track down a highly secret list of international agents, Lorraine Broughten is sent in to recover the list.  She is posing as a civil servant lawyer but it not met with open arms by the station agent in Berlin.  Trying to track down the list, an priceless item that hasn't hit the streets, she uncovers other "interesting" activities.  Spy vs spy and someone has to lose.  Lorraine leaves the city alive but many others are dead in her wake.  I still love the cold war era stuff.  This book was recently made into the movie "Atomic Blonde."
