Description

Intense and enthralling thriller, and a secret that will send shockwaves through the corridors of Westminster...

Vienna, 1946 - A brilliant German scientist spirited out of the ruins of Nazi Europe in search of a new life.

Moscow, 1964 - A rising star of the British diplomatic service whose job is not what it seems.

London, the present day - A once promising academic offered an opportunity to seal his place in history.

Their stories, their lives, and the fate of the world, are bound by a single document - The Scarlet Papers.

Tomorrow 11AM. Take a cab and pay in cash. Tell no one.

The most amazing service and selection of books. Had exactly what I was after and thought after ordering it late would take a couple of days but was here the next morning. Wouldn't hesitate to use again.
