在历史上最黑暗的一个时期，他下定决心要改变世界。在这个世界上最不道德的地方，这个道德的男人做了他深信是对的事。
 
被《辛德勒的名单》感动的读者一定不要错过这本书。这是一个真实人物的故事被小说化，关于希特勒的外交部局里的一位间谍，Fritz Kolbe。他发现自己有能力帮助他人，于是冒着生命危险将他手上的资讯传给美国政府。他过着一个双面人的生活，成为一名英雄。
 
Kolbe曾经在南非工作，之后被派到纳粹德国。他把14岁的女儿留在南非，虽然这个决定让他非常痛苦，但是最后还是因此而保护了她的生命。他的选择同时也威胁了他最深爱的女人Marlene Weise的安全——但他们还是同心协力一起进行间谍的工作。
 
不论面临多少危险，Kolbe还是愿意牺牲一切帮助拯救无辜的生命，以及拯救德国。

美国出版社Amazon Crossing编辑Elizabeth Denoma好评：
»When I first learned about Fritz Kolbe, a heroic German diplomat who supplied Americans with precious information that turned the course of World War II, I was incredulous. How could I never have heard of such a person before, given how much material is available about the time period and the number of books I’ve read on the subject?
 
Based on this gripping true story, The Honest Spy uses Kolbe’s life as the jumping-off point for the narrative, but the nature of his real-life service to the Allies is not in question. Knowing this was a real person made me all the more nervous as he risks his life over and over to bring critical intelligence to Allen Dulles and other American diplomats. I was tense each time Fritz—code name George Wood—crossed the border with his treasure trove of Nazi plans, and remained riveted until the final battles that clinched the outcome of the war. But even that was not the end for Kolbe, who paid a huge price for his bravery.
 
Part John le Carré, part Beneath a Scarlet Sky, The Honest Spy held me in suspense until the final pages, even though the outcome of the war was never in doubt. The captivating story of one man’s courage to do the right thing in the face of unimaginable chaos and fear galvanizes and stirs us to action as global citizens in a world rife with conflict.«
