Publisher's Summary

Hitler is dead. A new threat is born... The brand-new blockbuster from 'the master of the wartime thriller' (FT)

Autumn 1945 - Off the east coast of England, a Japanese sub surfaces, unloads its mysterious cargo, then blows itself to pieces.

Former spy Professor Tom Wilde is enjoying peacetime in Cambridge, settling back into teaching and family life. Until a call from senior MI5 boss Lord Templeman brings him out of retirement.

A nearby village has been locked down by the military, its residents blighted by a deadly illness. No one is allowed in or out.

There are rumours the Nazi machine is still operational, with links to Unit 731, a notorious Japanese biological warfare research laboratory. But how could they possibly be plotting on British soil—and why?

What's more, Wilde and Templeman's names are discovered on a Gestapo kill list. And after a series of assassinations an unthinkable question emerges: could an Englishman be behind the plot?

Excellent story and narration.

Thoroughly enjoyed Rory Clements' latest book - great plot and very interesting. Adam Sims is his usual rock star self as narrator - he's so easy to listen to.

Another astonishing story from Rory Clements

This is a great story, beautifully read and thoughtfully written. Rory Clements moves away from the direct war years, to the bleak and troubled years that followed. Britain is in an impoverished and uncertain peace. The strength of the book is the pace of the storytelling and the cast of interesting and well drawn characters. My only criticism might be that there is just one too many double crosses and sometimes the pieces sit awkwardly together but the writing is so convincing but you forget all this. This is a story to be savoured and enjoyed.
