There are some spymasters in London who assume his escape obviously means that he's the traitor who betrayed the agents. To prove himself innocent, and to get revenge for the deaths of his colleagues, he sets a trap to expose the mole in war-ravaged Berlin, a city about to be ripped apart by the Communists. It's a complex, deadly game that pits him against the KGB...and his own intelligence service. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eBig Bear, Little Bear\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Quietly impressive: a sort of shorthand le Carré novel, yet with its own voice: chillier, more sour, less consciously literary.
