JJ Armstrong planned to survive the war by staying neutral. Then the Nazis gave him a reason to fight.

An action-packed historical adventure by Stephen Kepher

In occupied Paris, the perfect spy may be the man nobody expects to fight.

When German troops occupy Paris, American art dealer JJ Armstrong believes survival means remaining neutral. His gallery is thriving, his clients include the powerful, and his friendship with a senior SS officer gives him an unusual measure of protection.

But when Nazi persecution becomes impossible to ignore, Armstrong makes a choice that puts everything he has built at risk: recruited by British Intelligence, he enters a world of stolen masterpieces, secret wireless transmissions, Gestapo manhunts, and deadly deception.

But his enemies are watching, and every friendship becomes a potential betrayal. As SS Counterintelligence closes in, JJ must decide how much he is prepared to sacrifice for a fight he may not live to see won.

A gripping historical action thriller about espionage, courage, betrayal, and the moment an ordinary man chooses to stand against tyranny. For fans of Wilbur Smith and Rory Clements.
