About this eBook

New York Times Bestseller: An audacious Nazi plan to kidnap Winston Churchill threatens to tip the scales of World War II.In November of 1943, an elite team of Nazi paratroopers descends on British soil with a diabolical goal: to abduct Winston Churchill and cripple the Allied war effort. The mission, ordered by Hitler himself and planned by Heinrich Himmler, is led by ace agent Kurt Steiner and aided on the ground by IRA gunman Liam Devlin. As the deadly duo executes Hitler’s harrowing plot, only the quiet town of Studley Constable stands in their way. Its residents are the lone souls aware of the impending Nazi plan, and they must become the most unlikely of heroes as the fate of the war hangs in the balance.

Ratings and reviews

Read this book for the first time when I was 12 or so... Has been one of my favorite since. I would strongly recommend to anyone who loves historical fiction

Still stands as the best fiction novel I've ever read, even after six years. Gripping and fascinating.

First book I read by Higgins years ago. Loved it.
