The Devil’s Spies by KC Sivils. This is the second historical fiction story written by the author, the first was entitled Operation Teardrop. The Berlin Wall construction began in 1961 to keep Germans confined within their country.
“You! You’re an American!”
Turning to the voice, Angela stared at the red, angry face of a young Berliner.
“Neither side will do anything to help him! Get the American soldiers!”
The sound of tear gas canisters being launched could be heard from somewhere on the other side of the wall. In seconds, tendrils of the greyish-white gas and its pungent smell began to reach across the wall.
The Berliner covered his face and pushed Angela. Shouting, “Go! Now, while there is still a chance to help him!” Angela nodded, relieved to suddenly find herself useful. She turned and ran as fast as her feet would take her to Check Point Charlie.
The devil has eyes and ears everywhere!
The Devil’s Spies
by K.C. Sivils
Genre: Historical Fiction
Needing to stop the flood of humanity fleeing communist oppression by making it to the divided city of Berlin, the communist government of East Germany took drastic measures. In August of 1961, construction of the Berlin Wall began.
Two young lovers, an American refugee worker, and an East German seminary student, find themselves separated by the wall. Desperate to be reunited and build a life together, Angela Wettin and Michael Dieterich, with Michael’s brother Joseph, set in motion a dangerous plan to escape by tunneling under the Berlin Wall.
Determined to stop any hope of gaining freedom, the East German Stasi, the dreaded secret police of the communist state, formed Department XX/4 to infiltrate and spy on the Church in East Germany.
Faced with betrayal, dangerous cave-ins, and family conflict, the trio enters a life-and-death race against the Stasi and Department XX/4.
Can they gain their freedom before they are caught by the Devil’s Spies from the Stasi?
