Description
The Second Midnight by Andrew Taylor In 1939, as Europe teeters on the brink of war, Alfred Kendall is tasked with carrying out a mission for the British Intelligence Service. He takes his troubled young son, Hugh, along for cover, unaware of the danger that lies ahead. When Hitler invades Czechoslovakia, Alfred is given an ultimatum by the Czech Resistance: return to England, but leave his son behind as collateral. The consequences of this choice are devastating, and Hugh finds himself in the midst of a treacherous game of survival in Nazi Europe. As the war intensifies, Hugh's path becomes increasingly entwined with that of a young man named Helmuth Scholl, who treats him with kindness despite his son's growing unease. The outcome is far from certain, and the fate of two innocent boys hangs precariously in the balance.
