Publisher's Summary

It's not unusual for spies to have secrets, but Henry Hunter has more than most, and after he is stopped by British Intelligence at Croydon airport on the eve of the Second World War, he finds he has even more.

In March 1941 in Berlin, haunted by a dark episode from his past, he makes a fateful decision resulting in a dramatic journey to the Swiss frontier, with a shocking outcome.

Vee Ask Zer Kvestions!

Oh dear!
A plodding, predictable story without pace or variability is read in a monotonous voice without any convincing characterisation and with execrable pronunciation of foreign names.
“ C+. Must try harder.
Give this a miss.
