Travel Guide
Cooking up ways to track down spies
The novel takes us from Switzerland and London via Germany and Italy. The central setting is Britain’s Control Commission for Germany, an entity that sends British citizens to Germany to help rebuild the country. People recruited there also help to track down and prosecute war criminals.
Post-war Germany comes to life, with all its trauma and destruction. There’s an underground Nazi movement that hopes to re-emerge one day. More scary still is the discovery of the true horror of the Nazi experiments on humans. We flit from Germany and then to Italy to showcase how women especially had their lifes transformed in an attempt to help their country.
