Berlin Conspiracy starts off as a Plain Jane spy story. It has the usual twists and turns of the espionage game. But the best part about the book is that it builds up pretty neatly to a classic finish. However, what is intriguing about this book is that it delves into the conspiracy theory of "Who actually killed JFK".Though the story is based around a fictitious assassination plot of JFK right in the heart of Berlin, it will make you wonder about two things. First, if JFK was killed in Berlin instead of Texas could it have triggered a full fledged invasion of Cuba by the US which would have snowballed into an epic war between multiple nations. Secondly, did the CIA really plot the assassination of the most charming President of the United States till date.I would suggest you pick this book up and follow Jack Teller, the protagonist, through the political climate of the world in 1963. Overall, a good read. I will definitely pick up the next book by Tom Gabbay, "The Lisbon Crossing".
Coming soon to a cinema near you. This story is made for film. Gabbay has written a remarkable spy thriller that provides a preview of events in Dallas. Dark elements in the US intelligence world plan to assassinate JFK during his historic visit to Germany. News of this comes not from a US spy but from an East German operative loyal to his own side who is eager to avoid world war III. Gripping, fast-moving, engaging. There are holes here and there, but they are quibbles when compared to the balls of showing exactly how the assassination of JFK in Dallas might have been planned. VERY recommended. It should become a best-seller and a major motion picture as well.
