Description
A rain-soaked night on the Sussex Downs sets the stage for an unexpected encounter between two men. Peter Moran's car stop leads to a dramatic turn of events as he is forced to take in a stranger who has crash-landed a high-speed French bomber. The arrival of this old wartime comrade throws Peter into a complex web of loyalty and deception, drawing him into a desperate manhunt across Europe. As the situation unfolds, Peter finds himself torn between his obligations and his own sense of right and wrong. This gripping tale of espionage and betrayal is a gripping pacey read that explores the darker aspects of human nature during times of war and uncertainty.
