Book description
It is 1943. British SOE agent Captain John Lockhart is in Crete,
fighting with the Resistance. Captured by the Germans, Lockhart faces a
stark choice, between death and betrayal of his country. Concealing his
true motives, Lockhart makes a bargain: in return for the life of his
imprisoned wife, he will work with the Germans. When his mission is
revealed, Lockhart is stunned. He is to lead a unit of the Waffen SS
made up of British fascists and renegades culled from POW camps: the
British Free Corps, Lockhart takes command, but he has an audacious plan
to free his wife and other innocent victims of the war - whatever the
personal cost. Guy Walters is the author of two history books on the
Second World War, Hunting Evil and Berlin Games. He is also the author
of four thrillers set in the same period: The Leader, The Traitor, The
Occupation and The Colditz Legacy. A former Times journalist he writes
widely on historical topics for the national press. He lives in
Wiltshire with his wife, the author Annabel Venning, and their two
children.
