Synopsis
On a US base deep in the English countryside a United States Air Force captain is awaiting trial for adultery. His lawyer, brought in from the outside, seeks to prove his innocence but finds his investigations thwarted at every turn. It seems that those in authority have determined to find him guilty as charged - regardless of the truth. For the truth is that the captain knows too much - he knows what is planned for the night of 13 August 1961...
"REVIEW: 'Gripping...sensational...an ingenious and immensely exciting thriller' (Daily Express ) AUTHBIO: With his background both as a military correspondent during the Cold War and as a crime reporter in Fleet Street, George Markstein was perfectly placed to write spy thrillers. His first book, The Cooler, sold over two hundred thousand copies and all his subsequent books were extremely popular and well received. On one occasion he departed from espionage fiction to write a historical novel, Tara Kane.
