Synopsis

Conrad de Lancey has seen enough of evil: the shadow of fear on the faces of innocents; the sudden lull before the slaughter begins. Franco's bloody insurrection taught this Englishman all about hell._x000D_
Arriving in his mother's country, the now Nazi Germany, Conrad is sick at heart. Even Berlin - infamous haven of decadence - salutes fascism. Himmler's black-shirted troops rule the city, and every German arm bears a Swastika. But does every German heart belong to Hitler?_x000D_
When Conrad is arrested by the Gestapo on suspicion of spying, he is rescued by Theo, an old friend from university, now a lieutenant of the Wehrmacht. Together they are drawn into a world of danger and deceit, of plots and paranoia where the brave few are united by a single ambition: to free the fatherland from the Führer.

Goodreads review by Kate on August 11, 2023

The last Archer I read was Kane and Abel. I have to say the style seems remarkably similar from then to now despite an interval of 40 years. However I suppose when you're as popular as Mr Archer why change a winning formula? So I've not come across William Warwick as a character and frankly he's so s......more

Goodreads review by Natalie on January 11, 2024

3.5 stars generously rounded up. All the usual protagonists and suspects return for the theft of the Crown Jewels. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the writing, but I found the pompousness of characters really annoying in this book. The righteous/entitled attitudes of the upper middle class has......more
