'Absorbing ... Gerlis directs his cast with verve' Financial Times
Hiding in the horror of Warsaw’s Jewish Ghetto with his family, scientist Roman Loszynski has a secret: a means of making aerial bombing raids frighteningly accurate. Codenamed Tatra, it could change the course of the war.
With British agent Jack Miller now in Switzerland, back in Berlin undercover spy Sophia von Naundorf is determined to escape Germany come what may. As the RAF look to destroy the Ruhr through its bombing raids, Barnaby Allen and British intelligence will need everything Jack and Sophia have to help find, test and deploy these devices.
But that will mean getting Loszynski out of Poland, and themselves re-entering the Reich. Both seem, on the face of it, impossible, desperate missions filled with danger. Every second a chance for discovery.
Every second a moment of peril.
An intense and unputdownable espionage thriller from modern master Alex Gerlis, this is perfect for readers of Robert Harris, Charles Cumming and Rory Clements.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In Alex Gerlis’ riveting thriller, a critical World War II spy mission hangs in the balance. Polish scientist Roman Loszynski may hold the key to defeating the Nazis—he’s developed a technology that makes aerial bombing highly accurate, and the Royal Air Force wants it. British agents Jack Miller and Sophia von Naundorf are tasked with locating Loszynski and extracting his entire family to Great Britain before infiltrating the Third Reich to test the device themselves. This instalment of the Wolf Pack Spies series has dazzling historical detail and intense action scenes. As the duo of hyper-competent spies races through wartime Berlin, London, Switzerland, and the Warsaw Ghetto, overcoming perilous odds, we couldn’t flip the pages fast enough.
