Berlin, 1977. Everyone has a cover story. Steve Percival has several.
A poet turned probationary intelligence officer, Steve arrives in a divided city determined to uncover the truth about his mother's death. His assignment involves a Stasi officer, her supposedly dead twin and a deception so closely guarded that even his new boss cannot know the whole story.
But in Berlin, intimacy is never entirely private. As diplomatic receptions give way to smoky music venues and Kreuzberg squats, Steve discovers that desire can be an instrument of statecraft, and the people offering protection may be the hardest to trust.
Meanwhile, in Cambridge, a child is about to be born, demanding a kind of loyalty no training course can teach.
Atmospheric, sensuous and threaded with mordant wit, Double Exposure explores the dangerous overlap between love and manipulation, the stories that make us, and the fragile possibility of a life beyond them.
