This totally gripping thriller is closely based on historical fact. Fiction blends seamlessly into the terrifyingly real drama of England's attempt to protect the convoys crossing the Atlantic by using the code-breaker Enigma captured from the Germans. A twist of genius as the author brings together two unexpected aspects of WW II, raising the tension to fever pitch and exposing the hypocrisy and expedience of war-time politics.
