BBC Radio 4 - The Drop, Episode 4

Alec carries out a reluctant favour as Martin Kreutzmer scrambles to cover his tracks.

At Regents Park, Alec Wicinski carries out a reluctant favour as BND agent Martin Kreutzmer scrambles to cover his tracks.
Written by Mick Herron

Set in a snow-dusted London, Mick Herron's taut thriller takes place in the gap where old-style spy craft and modern intelligence analysis don't quite meet.

When retired spy Solomon Dortmund sees an envelope pass from one hand to another in a bustling cafe he knows he's witnessed more than an innocent encounter. His shambolic handler has called in a favour and now analyst Alec Wicinski is on the trail of a German agent. But Martin Kreutzmer isn't about to give up valuable asset Snow White without a fight.
