What This Collection Covers:
Across Agent in Berlin and Agent in the Shadows, Gerlis threads a compelling arc of intelligence work conducted behind enemy lines. In Berlin, Barnaby Allen recruits a diverse network—across German soil and beyond—to uncover threats and safeguard crucial plans, including a dramatic intelligence prize tied to a potential attack on the United States. The Lyon episode in Agent in the Shadows centers on loyalty, betrayal, and the fragile trust that sustains resistance movements under the watchful eye of the Gestapo. Readers experience the tension of clandestine meetings, coded communications, and the constant fear of discovery, all set against richly drawn locales and a panorama of wartime geopolitics. This collection offers a complete, atmospheric journey through two interwoven strands of the Wolf Pack Spies series, perfect for fans of historical espionage who want depth, suspense, and a coherent narrative across books.

Book-by-Book Guide:
Agent in Berlin
In this opening chapter of the Wolf Pack Spies, Alex Gerlis builds a tense, character-driven picture of pre-war Berlin and the covert networks that operate under constant threat. Barnaby Allen, a seasoned British spymaster, orchestrates a web of foreign and domestic agents—the enigmatic Luftwaffe officer, the resourceful American journalist, and the subtle, dangerous diplomats—each bringing unique dangers and opportunities. The narrative pivots on the discovery of sensitive plans and the high-stakes race to secure intelligence that could shift the balance of power in Europe. With its richly textured setting, precise historical detail, and a cast whose loyalties are tested at every turn, Agent in Berlin sets a fast, immersive pace that will satisfy readers seeking authentic espionage flavor and suspenseful, morally complex plotting. Agent in the Shadows
This second volume shifts to Lyon, where a crucial meeting among resistance leaders aims to unify disparate factions and strengthen the fight against occupation. The plot thickens as Klaus Barbie and the Gestapo raid the assembly, revealing a traitor in Lyon and turning the operation into a race against time. British agents Jack Miller and Sophia von Naundorf are dispatched to identify the informer and safeguard the fragile network, all while betrayals multiply and danger closes in from every direction. Gerlis intensifies the tension with a relentless chase, nuanced character dynamics, and vivid historical context, delivering a dramatic conclusion to the Wolf Pack arc while inviting readers to revisit the earlier Berlin threads with heightened perception.
