brilliant emigré scientist is killed by a hit-and-run driver and
the body of an American embassy is washed up in the Thames, DCI
Frank Merlin and his team are called to investigate. Merlin's
investigations soon ruffle feathers at the Foreign Office - the
American ambassador, Joseph Kennedy, is a well-known supporter of
appeasement, and has gained many powerful and influential friends
in the pursuit of a negotiated peace settlement with Hitler. The
death of yet another embassy employee leads Merlin deep into the
seedier quarters of wartime London, until his investigations are
hampered by interfering superiors fearful of disrupting
international relations. As Merlin is drawn into a web of secrets,
what will the truth cost him - and Britain?
