      By the CWA Gold Dagger award-winning author of Other Paths to Glory A few weeks after D-day the German army in the West is retreating, with the British and the Americans in hot pursuit. But Major O'Conor, ex-liaison officer with the Yugoslav Partisans, is conducting his own private war. As he leads his hand-picked team of ruthless fighters deep behind the German lines, it becomes clear that he regards French Resistance units and British Intelligence agents as more dangerous to his mission than the Germans. So it is unfortunate for him that two interpreters attached to his task force happen to be Second-Lieutenant Audley and Corporal Butler, already revealing the cunning and resourcefulness that, in earlier novels, has taken them to the very top of their field. Major O'Conor's startling objective remains unknown to everyone except himself until the final pages - where a shattering surprise lies in store.

      Colonel Butler and Dr. Audley, two of the most brilliant and formidable men in British Intelligence, are at odds throughout this adventure. Each is concealing his activities from the other and each is keeping a jump or two ahead of the CIA, the KGB, the IRA and other old rivals and enemies. Colonel Butler wonders what Dr. Audley is up to when he turns up at the remote West Country village of Duntisbury Royal, as guest of the young lady of the manor, the grand-daughter of the General Maxwell who was killed recently by a car bomb. Colonel Butler sends in an agent who wouldn't be known to Audley: a man from German Intelligence posing as an archeologist who has come to view the Roman villa in the manor's grounds. And is launched into a story which goes back to the war years.

      David Audley is an unlikely spy. True, he works for England's Ministry of Defense, but strictly as a back-room man, doing meticulous research on the Middle East. This new assignment, then, comes as something of a surprise: A WWII-era British cargo place has been discovered at the bottom of a drained lake, complete with the dead pilot and not much else. Why are the Soviets so interested in the empty plane and its pilot-interested enough to attend the much-belated funeral? And why has Audley been tapped to lead the investigation? As Audley chips away at the first question, he can't stop asking the second. Could he possibly have been given the assignment in order to fail, to preserve the decades-old secrets at the bottom of the lake? If that's the case, someone's made an error. Audley's a scholas by training, temperamentally allergic to loose ends. And the story he unravels is going to make some people very uncomfortable indeed.
