Police detective turned spy Richard Price is on the move again in this fast - paced sequel to his first adventure. He's still eluding SS capture as he makes his way back and forth across enemy lines tracking the transfer of chromium from Turkey to Germany : the metal is essential to the war machine, and proof of neutral Turkey's role in assisting the Axis powers in getting it is the evidence Britain needs to stop it. If Price needed any convincing to take on this dangerous mission, his colleagues back in England have promised to find his missing child and the woman he loves. A strong second appearance for an increasingly interesting and appealing protagonist.
