Description: On a freezing January morning in 1961, eight-year-old Anna's mother disappears into the fog. That same morning a spy case breaks in the news--the case of the Krogers, apparently ordinary people who were not who they said they were; people who had disappeared in one place and reappeared in another with other identities, leading other lives. Anna's brother, Peter, begins to construct a theory that their mother, a refugee from eastern Germany, was a spy working undercover, and might even still be alive.
