# The English Führer by Rory Clements (Paperback)

**HITLER IS DEAD. A NEW THREAT IS BORN.**

A retired spy must uncover a deadly plot as Britain counts the cost of war. But who is the English Führer?

'MASTER OF THE WARTIME SPY THRILLER' - _FINANCIAL TIMES_  
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

**Autumn 1945** - Off the east coast of England, a Japanese sub surfaces, unloads its mysterious cargo, then blows itself to pieces.

Former spy Professor Tom Wilde is enjoying peacetime in Cambridge, settling back into teaching and family life. Until a call from senior MI5 boss Lord Templeman brings him out of retirement.

A nearby village has been locked down by the military, its residents blighted by a deadly illness. No one is allowed in or out.

There are rumors the Nazi machine is still operational, with links to Unit 731, a notorious Japanese biological warfare research laboratory. But how could they possibly be plotting on British soil - and why?

What's more, Wilde and Templeman's names are discovered on a Gestapo kill list. And after a series of assassinations an unthinkable question emerges: could an Englishman be behind the plot?

**Thrilling, intelligent, and brilliantly compelling, _The English Führer_ cements Rory's position as the 'master of the wartime thriller' (_FT_) - perfect for readers of Robert Harris, C J Sansom, Mick Herron and Joseph Kanon.**
