In 1940, Philip Maclean witnessed the German invasion of France and returned to head a Resistance network based in Paris. Another recruit to the network was Henri Masson: a playboy and a liar; but apparently also a patriot. Maclean's brilliant work with the Resistance was mirrored by his personal life: he lived as a Frenchman through two years of occupation and married his great love, Anne~Marie Duchard. However, what seemed the ultimate accolade~a personal interview in which Churchill ordered him to abandon all caution and attack the Nazis directly turned horribly sour when Maclean and his entire network were arrested and thrown into concentration camps. They had been betrayed. Forty years later MI6 officer Harry Chapman discovers that all records of "Scorpio" were destroyed by a sinister British Intelligence officer in 1945. Chapman begins the difficult task of tracing the survivors who are willing to talk: Anne~Marie, still bitter about the treatment of her beloved husband, and two of Maclean's lieutenants who survived the Nazi camps. Soon Chapman realizes that only the pilot, Henri Masson, knew what really happened. And Masson is dead . ~ Ted Allbeury served as Lieutenant Colonel in British Intelligence. One of England's favorite authors and a perennial best~seller; his works have been translated into fifteen languages. Proclaimed "truly a classic writer of espionage fiction" by no less an expert than Len Deighton, Allbeury was the real~life inspiration for Deighton's own unforgettable character, Harry Palmer.
