A neutral capital straddling Europe and Asia, Istanbul has spent the war as a magnet for refugees and spies. Even American businessman Leon Bauer has been drawn into this shadow world, doing undercover odd jobs and courier runs for the Allied war effort. Now, as the espionage community begins to pack up and an apprehensive city prepares for the grim realities of postwar life, he is given one more assignment, a routine job that goes fatally wrong, plunging him into a tangle of intrigue and moral confusion.

A twisty espionage tale of shifting allegiances.
Revisado: 01-31-13
What made the experience of listening to Istanbul Passage the most enjoyable?
Narrators various voices and accents. An atmosphere of postwar Turkey.
If you’ve listened to books by Joseph Kanon before, how does this one compare?
My favorite was Los Alamos, less favorite was The Good German. This book was perhaps the second best, although it was often painstakingly slow and drawn out.
What does Jefferson Mays bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
His characterizations made the story come alive. I might not have finished the book if I was reading it.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Not possible.

Two unexpected tales written and read by the best-selling author of The Uncommon Reader, Untold Stories and The History Boys."The Greening of Mrs Donaldson" - Mrs Donaldson is a conventional middle-class woman beached on the shores of widowhood after a marriage that had been much like many others: happy to begin with, then satisfactory and finally dull. But when she decides to take in two lodgers, her mundane life becomes much more stimulating…
