Description
If you want to solve a crime like Pearl Harbor, there’s only one question to ask.
Who benefits?
“States don’t have friends, only interests.”
Prepare to rethink everything you thought you knew about World War Two
1940, Britain’s darkest hour and as young Naval Intelligence officer Tom Belvoir negotiates the hushed corridors of power behind the blackout curtains, he hears the murmured talk of surrender in shadowy corners.
Desperate times call for truly desperate measures, an extreme operation and the ultimate sacrifice, in a plot which will change the course of history.
Now, seventy years later, what secrets are still too dangerous to face the light of day
Fatherland meets Smiley’s world of bureaucracy and deception in a book which will make you question the story you've been told.
Advance Praise
"“Brilliantly conceived... history, intrigue and modern day commentary woven into one masterpiece. Le Carre meets Dan Snow!”
“To say this book is a page-turner is a bit of an understatement… Spanning two timelines… the lines between fact and fiction are wonderfully blurred… you are reading something worthy of your time”"

Kevin M, Reviewer
Not sure what happened to my original,review which I thought I had posted here but it seems to have disappeared. This is a shame as the story was enjoyable and engaged this reader at least. The setting is popular in current fiction as interest in the Second World War in general, and incidents involving spies from one of the many intelligence agencies in particular, is possibly at an all-time high. The story is sufficiently pacy to keep the reader's interest, with both personal adventures and the wider setting well-captured. The need to introduce a conspiracy twist was, perhaps, unnecessary and did not add to my enjoyment. Nonetheless, this is a good read and recommended strongly.
