WINNER OF THE CWA HISTORICAL DAGGER 2018.
The eve of war: a secret so deadly, nothing and no one is safe
June 1939. England is partying like there's no tomorrow . . . but the
good times won't last. The Nazis have invaded Czechoslovakia, in
Germany Jewish persecution is widespread and, closer to home, the IRA
has embarked on a bombing campaign.
Perhaps most worryingly of all, in Germany Otto Hahn has produced
man-made fission and an atomic device is now possible. German High
Command knows Cambridge's Cavendish Laboratory is also close, and
when one of the Cavendish's finest brains is murdered, Professor Tom
Wilde is drawn into the investigation. In a conspiracy that stretches
from Cambridge to Berlin, and from the US to Ireland, can he discover
the truth before it's too late?
