Description
Clive Egleton's new suspense novel tells a story of old betrayal and long- delayed revenge, set against the background of the rape of Poland.
When Warsaw fell to the Nazis in September 1939, the disappearance of Andrew Korwin was one tragedy among many. The young Polish officer's sister, rescued by a determined American diplomat, gave up hope only when she learned that the hospital to which he had been taken had been destroyed.
Twenty-five years later, a determined young American arrives in London, demanding help as she searches for her Uncle Andrew. Stefanie Ayres is beautiful, impassioned - and soon, she has MI6 agent Campbell Parker convinced that Korwin might indeed be alive.
But his own masters have not seen fit to tell him the whole story. Why did Korwin, now a respectable businessman, change his name? Why is his partner attacked by trained assassins in Spain? Is Stefanic really the innocent, impulsive American she appears to be?
Slowly, with scepticism at first, Parker uncovers the layers of the double deception that began in 1939.
