It is April 1941. Since the Fall of France and the heroic evacuation of Dunkirk, Britain has stood alone against Nazi Germany. Hitler has not yet broken his nonaggression pact with Russia but could do so at any moment, and America is struggling to stay neutral in the face of Britain's plight. With his cover as an SS officer blown, American spy Wolfgang Stahl has just fled Germany for parts unknown. Stahl's liaison at the U.S. State Department, Calvin Cormack, must find his man before the Germans out him as an American operative. Is Stahl already dead, as the SS would have his protectors believe, or is he still alive and well, carrying intelligence that could change the course of history?To find out, the sheltered, patrician Cormack is teamed with an unlikely partner: Special Branch officer Walter Stilton.

But when thing go horribly awry and Cal is ditched by M16 and disowned by his embassy, Cormack's last hope is Kitty's old flame, Chief Inspector Troy of Scotland Yard. Read Less
