More about the book

The green train connecting Leningrad and Helsinki has been halted by the Red Army a few kilometers from the Finnish border. The occupants of the train are unaware of the diplomatic undercurrents behind this forced stop. Peter Stern, Frau Kunkel, Junji Asawa: all appear to be ordinary tourists. Around the tracks, soldiers settle in the twilight and wait. The carriages buzz with rumors of espionage, and an escape is being planned. Starting from the daily experiences of hostages, the narrative gradually explores the forces at play on the international stage, closely examining the human reality of the Cold War in this major political thriller.
