1948: Europe is at peace, but a new war is just beginning
Laura McGill, a beautiful woman in her mid-twenties, is waiting on a street corner in Piccadilly, London, with a Colt .32 in her handbag. She is desperate to find out what happened to her sister Diana. Both Laura and Diana were Special Operation Executive (SOE) spies during World War Two. One night in 1944, Diana was flown into occupied France in a Lysander and never returned. Could she still be alive? James Hadley Webb, the man who sent Diana on her final mission, is now a spy in Berlin. Despite the security services attempts to stop her, Laura travels to Germany to confront him. But someone is killing Webb's agents. Laura is about to get caught in the crossfire of a bloody turf war fought between the East and the West for control of the city.
