September 1939. In southern France, Tom Wilde finds his former student Marcus Marfield imprisoned at Le Vernet after serving with the International Brigades in Spain. Wilde secures his release as Germany invades Poland, but doubts about Marfield’s loyalties follow them into the opening days of the war.

The sinking of the passenger liner Athenia becomes the centre of a propaganda struggle after Joseph Goebbels claims that Britain destroyed the ship to draw the United States into the conflict. Wilde’s search for the truth exposes a spy network attempting to manipulate both British politics and American opinion.
