Plot: Imagine if England had surrendered to
Hitler. In Sansom’s dark and convincing
alternate history, it is 1952 and Germany is ruling England while Winston
Churchill is hiding out from the authorities, encouraging a British Resistance.
Newly recruited to the cause is David Fitzgerald, who has been surreptitiously
passing along information obtained from his government job. He kept his involvement from his wife whose
family are ardent pacifists but that has created distance in his marriage,
already strained by the death of their child.
When David’s Oxford friend Frank is committed to an asylum, both the Americans
and Germans learn that Frank holds the key to a secret that could result in
devastation to the whole world. Only
David can be trusted to rescue Frank, and as his cover is blown, he and his
cohorts desperately try to escape with German agents in hot pursuit.
