Dr. Rachael Benedict is an American historian and a best-selling author. She has a British connection through her estranged father Saul, an English thriller writer. Saul has spent much of his life plotting to expose secrets from World War Two, which are so sensitive they have been subject to an extensive cover-up lasting seventy years. Set equally in the United States and Britain, the narrative grips from the first page, transporting the reader to the heart of government both in Washington and London and into the darkest corners of the deep states on each side of the Atlantic. Rachael battles forward to unearth the truth both from intrigues of the Nazi era, but also within her own family, surviving three attempts on her life. Not only does she struggle to expose the truth from history, but she must delve deep into her own emotions to find the truth about herself.
