Description
In 2014, England has succumbed to fascist dictatorship. A bomb explodes in a London suburb, and Inspector Carmichael is assigned to investigate. His inquiry leads him into a complex web of conspirators, including peers, communists, and IRA gunmen, who aim to murder the Prime Minister and Adolf Hitler. As Carmichael delves deeper, he uncovers a plot that involves blackmailing an actress who holds crucial information about the Fuhrer's death. The investigation unfolds against a backdrop of domestic espionage and suppression, from the theatre seats where secrets are shared to the coins that cover the eyes of the dead. The case ultimately leads to a stunning conclusion, as the conspiracy and Carmichael's investigation converge in unexpected ways.
