1812. Europe has been at war for twenty years. Britain stands alone
against the greatest threat to peace the world has ever known, at
daily risk of a French invasion and revolution. In London, a
handful of men struggle to protect their country and maintain the
war effort. Among them, the Earl of Myddelton, code-breaker to the
Foreign Office, strives to crack the most difficult French code
yet-the Grand Chiffre-before still more men die on the battlefields
of Europe. Then, on 11 May 1812, the unthinkable happens-the Prime
Minister is assassinated. Amid widespread panic and fear of a
French conspiracy, the government falls. From the ballrooms of
London, to the backstreets of power, to the death-in-waiting coast
of enemy France, Myddelton is drawn inexorably into the deepening
crisis-his private life unravelling all the while, as
misunderstandings, gossip and spite mar his marriage and threaten
to destroy his career.
