‘Very sturdy, very sustaining’ Literary Review
The compelling drama of a fugitive in a hostile land, confronted with an impossible mission.
It is January 1943 and in the attic of its Baker Street headquarters, a despised department is given its most crucial task – to redeem the SOE organisation in Churchill’s eyes by assassinating Adolf Hitler.
Finding the right man for the mission seems increasingly impossible, until their junior officer, Robin Lusty, volunteers himself.
Dropped into Bavaria in the guise of a wounded German officer, Lusty is forced to eliminate a village policeman to protect his cover – thus putting a ruthless detective called Jäger on his trail.
After winning the confidence of Hitler’s mistress, Eva Braun, the would-be assassin is getting ever closer to his target but, just as he is about to make the hit, a change in Allied policy undermines his plans. Hunted by Jäger, pursued by the Gestapo, with his escape route closing, he finds himself betrayed by London ... now alone in a darkening land, with every man turned against him.
Lusty’s fate will rest in the hands of the local woman who has fallen in love with him.
A well researched and gripping spy thriller. Recommended for fans of Alan Furst, Rory Clements John le Carre.
‘An authentic look at the loneliness and conflicting loyalties often thrown up in wartime’ Sunday Mirror
