1936.
Europe is in turmoil.
The
Nazis have marched into the Rhineland.
In Russia, Stalin has unleashed his
Great Terror. Spain has erupted in civil war.
In Berlin, a young
Englishwoman evades the Gestapo to deliver vital papers to a Jewish scientist.
Within weeks, she is found dead in her Cambridge bedroom, a silver syringe
clutched in her fingers.
In a London club,
three senior members of the British establishment light the touch paper on a
conspiracy that will threaten the very heart of government. Even the ancient
colleges of Cambridge are not immune to political division. Dons and students
must choose a side: right or left, where do you stand?
When a renowned
member of the county set and his wife are found horribly murdered, a maverick
history professor finds himself dragged into a world of espionage which, until
now, he has only read about in books. But the deeper Thomas Wilde delves, the
more he wonders whether the murders are linked to the death of the girl with
the silver syringe - and, just as worryingly, to the scandal surrounding King
Edward VIII and his mistress Wallis Simpson...
Set against the
drumbeat of war and moving from Berlin to Cambridge, from Whitehall to the Kent
countryside, and from the Fens to the Aragon Front in Spain, this big canvas
international thriller marks the beginning of a major new series from
bestselling author Rory Clements.
