Eye of the Needle by Ken Follett
Ken Follett's critical success is set during the pivotal period of World War II when D-Day planning was being carried out. The German spy Henry Faber, codenamed "The Needle," has set up shop in London and is relaying intelligence back to Berlin. When it comes to this profession, he's the cream of the crop: only he and a few other German agents are still at loose in Britain. Faber quickly realizes that the British are about to embark on a critical operation that, if successful, will turn the tables on Germany. The trouble is that the British are getting closer and closer to catching him...
If you've read any of Ken Follett's works, you'll know he has a gift for vividly resurrecting the past in his writing. Eye of the Needle is no exception; the tension and secrecy that characterized this turbulent period are expertly represented in this volume.
