'The time bomb which was to kill Adolf Hitler, Fuhrer and Commander-In-Chief of the German armed forces, was assembled at Smolensk with great care...'

In 1943 Hitler was at the height of his powers. At his side constantly was Martin Bormann. On his mind constantly was the war against the beleaguered might of Stalin's Russia.

After 13 March 1943, records show a drastic change in the Fuhrer's behaviour and personality. And 13 March 1943 was the date of a bomb attack on the Fuhrer private aircraft.

If Hitler was destroyed on that fateful date, who was the man in the Berlin bunker two years later? How did Martin Bormann succeed in keeping the anti-Nazi generals from seizing the Reich? And who was Woodpecker - the Soviet spy at the pinnacle of the Nazi was machine?

Colin Forbes' blistering novel retraces the last two years of a world at war, following the story of a British wing-commander who knows too much and a German secretary who knows much more...to expose the most startling theory yet about the death of the Third Reich...
