Violent deaths. French double agents. Daring fraud.
DCI Frank Merlin sets out on his most complex case yet...
War rages across Europe.
France is under Nazi rule. Britain has its back to the wall.
In London, Scotland Yard detective Frank Merlin investigates a series of disturbing events - a young girl killed in a botched abortion, a French emigré shot in a seedy Notting Hill flat, a mysterious letter written by a British officer recently gunned down in Crete.
With action spanning Buenos Aires, New York, Cairo and occupied France, Merlin and his team are plunged into a dark world of espionage, murder, love and betrayal.
