"Via Berlin" by Crittenden Marriott is a historical fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows the journey of Walter Topham, a naval officer tasked with delivering a confidential message to a contact in Berlin during a time of international tension preceding World War I. As Topham navigates through his errand, he encounters a rich tapestry of intrigue, personal relationships, and the complexities of diplomacy that unfold against the backdrop of a changing world. The opening of the novel introduces Topham in a meeting with the Secretary of State, who instructs him on the importance of his mission to deliver a secret packet to Mr. Rutile in Berlin. His character is depicted as a capable and handsome young man, though haunted by past romantic entanglements, particularly with a woman named Lillian Byrd. As he embarks on his journey, Topham's path intertwines with that of Senorita Elsa Ferreira, a captivating woman who raises both his curiosity and romantic interest. Their fleeting connection sets the stage for deeper themes of love, duty, and the unforeseen dangers that accompany Topham's assignment, suggesting that the journey will not only challenge his professional skills but also test his heart.
