**July, 1940. The Nazis launch their invasion of Britain - starting with the Channel Islands . . .**  
  
And soldier turned safecracker Bill O'Hagan gets an offer: hang for his crimes, or serve his country.  
  
The mission - land on occupied Alderney, impersonate a local, steal the invasion plans, escape. He almost believes they're not lying to him.  
  
In Portugal, the former King, Edward, Duke of Windsor, receives an altogether different proposal from Germany: ease the invasion and he'll get his throne back. But Edward will not readily betray his country . . .  
  
An embittered former king. An unreformed thief.  
**_And a secret upon which the fates of nations lie . . ._**  
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_  
  
'Fact and fiction merge in a rip-roaring yarn that is totally credible. Excellent' **_SUN_**  
  
'Triumphant . . . The synthesis of real and fictitious characters is handled with panache by the talented Grimwood' **_FINANCIAL TIMES_**  
  
'Top notch . . . the suspense never wavers' **_CRIMETIME_**  
  
'Grimwood matches Robert Harris, Joseph Kanon, Ken Follett and John le Carré thrill for thrill in this breath-taking WWII story of atmospheric suspense, daring espionage and political intrigue' **_GLASGOW LIFE_**  
  
'Highly entertaining . . . There are complications, twists and turns of plot in abundance. Every bit as credible or satisfying as James Bond' **_SCOTSMAN_**
