Description
The fate of Britain rests on one unlikely spy in this rich, atmospheric WWII thriller, from the award-winning author of Moskva and Nightfall Berlin.
July, 1940. The Nazis launch their invasion of Britain, starting with the Channel Islands...
And soldier turned safecracker Bill O'Hagan gets an offer: hang for his crimes, or serve his country.
The mission: impersonate a local on occupied Alderney, steal the invasion plans, escape. He almost believes they're not lying.
In Portugal, former King, Edward, Duke of Windsor, receives an altogether different proposal from Germany: ease the invasion and he'll get his throne back. But Edward will not readily betray his country...
An embittered former king. An unreformed thief. And a secret upon which the fates of nations lie...
