A brilliant thriller in which a traditional British hero is needed to save the UK from fascist rule under Edward VIII and Oswald Mosley - tense, powerful and unsettling.
A weak king. A fascist leader. Germany an ally. What does 1937 hold for the people of Britain?
'The Treaty of London had been signed, and the future sealed. Today was a good day for Britain, the Leader said, a good day for Germany, a good day for Fascist Europe. The Germans are our friends now, he said, Herr Hitler has brought miracles to his country, and I shall do the same for ours . . .'
Great Britain, 1937. Edward VIII and his new bride, Wallis, are preparing for their coronation; Winston Churchill is a prisoner on the Isle of Man; and Prime Minister Oswald Mosley - the Leader, as he is known - consults Adolf Hitler on a "more permanent" solution to the "Jewish problem". In exchange for full bellies, the British population has yielded to a regime of terror, enforced by Mosley's secret police.
James Armstrong, a hero of the Great War, is on the run, wanted by Mosley for organising a resistance movement to the government. The Leader is determined to see Armstrong hang. But Armstrong is every bit as clever as the evil men on his trail . . .
