The standalone pre-WW2 crime novel from Sunday Times bestselling Rory Clements - set in Munich in the early 1930s.

Autumn 1945 - Off the east coast of England, a Japanese sub surfaces, unloads its mysterious cargo, then blows itself to pieces. Former spy Professor Tom Wilde is enjoying peacetime in Cambridge, settling back into teaching and family life. Until a call from senior MI5 boss Lord Templeman brings him out of retirement. A nearby village has been locked down by the military, its residents blighted by a deadly illness. No one is allowed in or out. There are rumours the Nazi machine is still operational, with links to Unit 731, a notorious Japanese biological warfare research laboratory. But how could they possibly be plotting on British soil - and why? What's more, Wilde and Templeman's names are discovered on a Gestapo kill list. And after a series of assassinations, an unthinkable question emerges: could an Englishman be behind the plot?

Day by day, American and British intelligence officers subject senior members of the Nazi regime to gruelling interrogation in their quest for their truth. Enter Tom Wilde - the Cambridge professor and spy sent in to find out the truth...

The thrilling follow up to the Sunday Times bestseller Hitler's Secret, as Tom Wilde returns to unravel a dangerous mystery that goes all the way to the heart of the Third Reich - and the British Monarchy.

V Cambridgi požádá americký zpravodajský důstojník geniálního profesora historie Toma Wildea, aby mu pomohl propašovat záhadný balíček z nacistického Německa – něco tak tajného, že dokonce ani Hitler sám o existenci této věci neví. Tom Wilde ale brzy zjistí šokující pravdu o tomto „balíčku“ a pochopí, proč se nacisté nezastaví před ničím, jen aby zabránili tomu, aby opustil Německo
