From
the master storyteller, a startling new thriller set amidst the Danish
Resistance. It is June 1941 and Denmark is under German occupation. On
the rocky coast of Denmark, two brothers, Harald and Arne Olufsen are
straining against the rigid confines imposed by their elderly parents.
Meanwhile, a network of MI6 spies is attempting to decipher an encrypted
Luftwaffe radio signal which mentions the new Freya-Ger¿t - a
rudimentary form of German radar equipment. Arne's relationship with
Hermia Mount, an MI6 analyst draws him into underground politics,
putting him under surveillance by the Danish security forces - and by
one man in particular who has a personal motive to see Arne fall. It is
only a matter of time before the brothers' paths converge in a united
effortto overcome the Nazis. A disused Hornet Moth biplane is their only
means of getting a vital message to the British . . .
