As German forces overrun France, British intelligence officer James Woodyatt is sent across the Channel to locate an elderly First World War hero. The missing man may once have worked as a spy and may now possess information capable of damaging the Nazi regime. Woodyatt’s search leads through occupied territory where resistance, collaboration and old personal loyalties are difficult to distinguish.

The novel is grounded in the German occupation of France and the uncertain networks through which intelligence officers, former agents and resistance groups operated. Its elderly First World War veteran also links the political secrets of 1940 to earlier conflicts and loyalties.
