Eye of the Needle by Ken FollettMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A german spy Die Nadel (or The Needle) has been in London during World War II. He is assigned the task to gauge the military at Port Calais in France. Allied forces have been planning a camouflage setup at Calais to dupe the Germans into thinking the attack is going to happen from Calais instead of from Normandy. To that effect, many artists and movie studio setup workers were put to building a massive fake military setup in Calais. Die Nadel or Henreich Faber happens to find out that its a fake and not a real military setup and from that point on the book is about whether he is able to deliver the proof of his findings to Abwehr in time or not. The story is fast paced and keeps the reader engaged. A good novel to start reading the works of Ken Follet.
