Spider Games (#1 In the City of Spies) | Brian Falkner

Nervous, timid and socially awkward, Nick is the most unlikely person to get involved in a deadly spy game of cat and mouse. But when his grandfather goes missing during a trip to Berlin, he is suddenly alone in a city where he knows nobody and cannot speak the language.

Desperate for answers, he looks through Grandpa Joe’s belongings and is astonished to discover an old diary containing his grandfather’s memoirs as a teenage spy during World War II and the Cold War. As the world counts down to the new millennium, Nick finds himself running for his life as his pursuers close in. His only ally is Rejhana, a girl with a tragic past. But can Nick really trust her?

Spider Games: In the City of Spies is a fast-paced, death-defying race through the streets of Berlin that delves into themes of identity, espionage and survival.
