The Key To Rebecca-------pan macmillan
He is known to the Germans as ‘Sphinx’, to others as Alex Wolff, a
European businessman. He arrives suddenly in Cairo from out of the
desert, armed with a radio set, a lethal blade and a copy of Daphne du
Maurier’s Rebecca – a ruthless man with a burning, relentless conviction
that he will win at all costs.
The stakes are high, for the survival
of the British campaign in North Africa is in the balance. Only Major
William Vandam, an intelligence officer, and the beautiful courtesan
Elene can put an end to Wolff’s brilliant clandestine reports of British
troop movements and strategic plans.
As Rommel’s troops come closer
to victory, Vandam edges nearer to Wolff and the crucial key. Follett
builds tension and suspense to a nerve-tearing pitch as he follows the
adversaries across the infernal desert to a confrontation which will
determine who wins – and loses – in this deathly struggle.
