Paris 1937. Luke Hamilton - a junior air intelligence officer at the British Embassy - finds himself the target of an assassination attempt. A clear case of mistaken identity or so it first appears. As Luke is hunted across a continent sliding towards war he comes to learn that the answers lie deep in a past that predates his abandonment as a baby on the steps of an orphanage 25 years ago. Set against a terrific backdrop of Europe on the cusp of the Second World War this is a compelling novel rich in adventure espionage secrets and lies.
