About this title

Synopsis

When the Nazis seize Austria in March 1938, Verity Browne is deported as a well-known anti-Fascist. Before she leaves she is able to arrange for a young Jewish man to escape, but where he expects safety, he finds danger and sudden death. Meanwhile, Lord Edward Corinth also finds death where he least expects it when his nephew stumbles on a corpse. The police say no crime was committed, but Edward realizes nothing is as it seems.
