Publisher's Summary

It was 1953, and nothing could shake William Denning’s resolve to leave the army and return to the States. Nothing, except one of the largest diamond hauls ever—which, in the wrong hands, on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain, was a potentially lethal force.

In a small village in the Swiss mountains, Denning discovered that there was not only a jewelry robbery at stake. In the ruthless world of espionage and international conspiracy, his adversaries were the most unlikely people—and the most dangerous.

Intregeing Spy Story

Set in the early 1950s diamonds stolen from France are to be sold. Who is the buyer, who will be killed and why. Very well narrated with lots of different accents for the characters. I really enjoyed this story

Pray for a brave heart

I thought some of the story disconnected in that here was no reason for certain feelings or looks. The place of women hasn’t worn well with the male patronising perspective writ large and made more so by the reader’s tone. But she is a good writer.

Disappointing

I have listened to several of Helens books 📚. Found this one not as good. as others. unsure for what reason. just didn't seem to gel together. even the narration was as easy to listen to. I didn't have a couple attempts withitand did manage to finish.
