Synopsis:

It is Lisbon, July 1940. Europe is in the grasp of the Nazi war machine. In Portugal, the disgraced Duke of Windsor and his scheming wife, Wallace Simpson, are caught up in a whirlwind of nightclubs and cocktail parties. But from beneath the glamorous surface treachery and murder emerge...When Hollywood stuntman Jack Teller rolls into Europe with glamorous film star Lili Sterne - ostensibly to trace Lili's missing childhood friend but also to escape a cuckolded studio boss - he has no idea that he is about to enter a world of lies, deceit, subterfuge and, high treason. For Jack has stumbled across a plan to deliver Britain into the hands of Nazi Germany once and for all, and none other than the Duke of Windsor seems to be brokering the deal...
