1937: The real war is about to start but the battle of intelligence and subterfuge is well underway
On a cool October evening in 1937, German engineer and secret agent Herr Edvard Uhl arrives in Warsaw. Tonight, he will be with his mistress; tomorrow, he will be at a bar, where he will meet with a French military attache. Information will be exchanged for money.
War is coming to Europe. And although bombs and bullets have yet to fly, French and German operatives are already caught in a deadly espionage battle. In a war of intelligence and subterfuge, no spy can help being drawn into the murky world of abduction, betrayal and intrigue.
