Synopsis

It is 1943, and a team of cryptanalysts led by Tom Jericho have broken the Enigma code of Hitler's U-boats. But inside the code-breaking centre, a woman disappears and authorities suspect the presence of a traitor, it is only when Jericho himself falls under suspicion that he must unmask the spy.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

'After the resounding success of his first novel, Fatherland, the question was what would Robert Harris do for an encore? This is the resounding answer'
Phillip Knightley, Mail on Sunday

March 1943, the war hangs in the balance, and at Bletchley Park Tom Jericho, a brilliant young codebreaker, is facing a double nightmare. The Germans have unaccountably changed their U-boat Enigma code, threatening a massive Allied defeat. And as suspicion grows that there may be a spy inside Bletchley, Jericho's girlfriend, the beautiful and mysterious Claire Romilly, suddenly disappears.

'Extraordinarily good - undoubtedly the best thriller of the year, and perhaps of several years to come'
T.J. Binyon, Evening Standard

'I finished the book regretful it had ended, and full of wonder at this extraordinary world, people and achievements it evoked'
David Cannadine, Observer
