Another adventure in the Heidi Fuchs series. May 1941 - the German invasion of Russia is about to begin - but first there's a death to arrange in England. Deputy Fuhrer, Rudolf Hess, flies secretly to Britain - supposedly for peace talks, but carrying in his head full details of the forthcoming German invasion of Russia. Hitler, spitting fury at this betrayal orders his death, and a top agent is dispatched in pursuit. Meanwhile in London, the happily retired Sir Freddy Villiers and his partner, female Gendarmerie officer Martine Dumont, have decided to reject any further suggestions of dangerous secret missions in occupied Europe. They have escaped unharmed from their last two excursions but think that any more would be tempting fate. Unfortunately, on this occasion they don't need to cross the Channel to find trouble. Trouble, in the shapely form of Heidi Fuchs, has just parachuted in - to find them. But surely they can expect the full support and cooperation of the British security services - after all, whose side are MI6 supposed to be on? Utterly realistic with superb research - you live the action with the characters.
