In 1941 the European war ended in the Farthing Peace, a
rapprochement between Britain and Nazi Germany. The balls and
banquets of Britain's upper class never faltered, while British
ships ferried "undesirables" across the Channel to board the cattle
cars headed east. Peter Carmichael is commander of the Watch,
Britain's distinctly British secret police. It's his job to warn
the Prime Minister of treason, to arrest plotters, and to discover
Jews. The midnight knock of a Watchman is the most dreaded sound in
the realm. Now, in 1960, a global peace conference is convening in
London, where Britain, Germany, and Japan will oversee the final
partition of the world. Hitler is once again on British soil. So is
the long exiled Duke of Windsor - and the rising gangs of "British
Power" streetfighters, who consider the Government "soft," may be
the former king's bid to stage a coup d'etat. Amidst all this, two
of the most unlikely persons in the realm will join forces to
oppose the fascists: a debutante whose greatest worry until now has
been where to find the right string of pearls, and the Watch
Commander himself.
