If you ask me about my second favourite book…
…I’ll surely talk about another Ken Follett masterpiece, namely ‘The eye of the needle‘. I have already read it on four occasions, because it is greatest spy novel of all times.
Spy novel Eye of the Needle was also adapted into a movie of the same title in 1981, starring Donald Sutherland. This World War II. novel combines a thriller’s story with historical facts for one gripping read. The book was the writer’s first major success, and it won him the Edgar Award for Best Novel.
Story:
In 1940, a German spy known as “the Needle” is on a mission to collect information on England, especially on London, which he will send back to Hitler. When he becomes wanted for a murder, he escapes to a small island off the coast of Scotland. There he meets a woman, who trapped in a cold marriage. The stakes of their hot relation are incredibly high and may determine the course of World War II.
