Publisher's Synopsis
Needing to stop the flood of humanity fleeing communist oppression by making it to the divided city of Berlin, the communist government of East Germany took drastic measures. In August of 1961, construction of the Berlin Wall began.
Two young lovers, one an American refugee worker, the other an East German seminary student, find themselves separated by the wall. Desperate to be reunited and build a life together, Angela Wettin and Michael Dieterich, with Michael's brother Joseph, set in motion a dangerous plan to escape by tunneling under the Berlin Wall. Determined to eliminate all hope of gaining freedom, the East German Stasi, the dreaded secret police of the communist state, formed Department XX/4 to infiltrate and spy on the Church in East Germany. Faced with betrayal, dangerous cave-ins, and family conflict, the trio enters a life-and-death race against the Stasi and Department XX/4. Can they gain their freedom before they are caught by the Devil's Spies?
