A British embassy officer - Leo Harting - is missing, as are 43 of the embassy’s most confidential files. The disappearance could not have come at a more worryingly significant time, as Germany’s security is threatened by radical protests and an increasingly present concern that former Nazi’s are regaining positions of power.

Amid this backdrop, Alan Turner of the British Foreign Office is sent to get to the bottom of Harting’s absence. Under strict instruction to watch his every step, the pressure is on Turner as he deals with hostile treatment towards his investigation and embraces a number of unexpected, alarming twists and revelations along the way.

Now, with this gripping CD audiobook reading of John le Carre’s 1968 espionage novel, you have the opportunity to lose yourself in an explosive plot that will engage your full attention every step of the way. Vividly narrated by the Doctor Who actor Michael Jayston, ‘A Small Town in Germany’ provides fascinating allusions to a number of events that actually occurred at the time of publication.

John le Carre audiobooks on CD and MP3 feature titles spanning across the author’s long and fruitful writing career, since his first novel was published in 1961 up until the present day. An ideal addition to any le Carre audiobook collection.
