Synopsis:

What if WWII went the other way? In this alternative-history novel, Deighton imagines a chilling world where British Command surrendered to the Nazis in 1941, Churchill has been shot, the King is in the dungeon, and the SS are in Whitehall. In occupied Britain, Scotland Yard conducts business as usual...only under the command of the SS. Detective Inspector Archer is assigned to what he believes is a routine murder case--until SS Standartenfuhrer Huth arrives from Berlin with orders from Himmler himself to supervise the investigation. Soon, Archer finds himself caught in a high level, action-packed espionage battle.This is a spy story different from any other--one that only Deighton, with his flair for historical research and his narrative genius, could have written.

About the Author: Bestselling British author Len Deighton is known for his complex, nuanced espionage thrillers, beginning with his very first novel, "The Ipcress File." Along with his contemporary, John le Carre, who also started his career in the early 1960s, Len Deighton transformed the spy novel by writing about the ways in which espionage can not only change the course of history, but how it can affect the morality and personal lives of the individuals involved.
