"A brilliantly structured spy novel"

The Guardian

1938: Germany annexed Austria. Now the Sudetenland is next. Hitler is preparing for war, while the British, led by Prime Minister Chamberlain, are working for peace. The situation is tense and nothing seems to be able to keep Europe from another war.

Hugh Legat is the young hope of the British Foreign Office, who gets involved in secret service games against his will. An old friend of his, Paul von Hartmann, who works in the Nazi bureaucracy, and his companions set the goal of overthrowing Hitler, but for this they need the Munich Conference, which settled the tense situation, to end in failure - however, this would mean war between England and Germany.

In 2022, Netflix made an exciting spy drama from Robert Harris' captivating political thriller.
