“Let me get this straight. You’ve arranged for your real ID to be planted on a body, so that the police will think that you are dead and stop looking for you, so that you can pretend to be someone who really is dead, so that you can turn in a set of genuine documents that nobody would believe were genuine if you turned them in as yourself?”
“That’s right.”
“I feel like I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole. You can call me ‘Alice,’ and you’re the Mad Hatter, I assume.”
“And we’re going to see the Queen of Hearts who will yell ‘Off with his head!’, if you don’t play your part right, Alice, so please do. I’m very attached to my head.”

The plot is based on a "legend" that was still being told by U.S. Army soldiers in Berlin in the mid-1970s. According to the legend, we had advance knowledge of the wall, and we knew that the East-German troops who were going to build it had been told to halt construction if the Americans were to take aggressive action to stop them.
The novel's webSite has a page that demonstrates that the "legend" upon which the novel is base is true.
