A soldier and a spy, an officer but not quite a gentleman...Captain Harry Walsh is SOE’s secret
weapon.
Loathed by his own commanding officer, haunted by the death of his closest friend and trapped in a
loveless marriage, Harry Walsh is close to burn out when he is ordered to assassinate the man behind
the ME 163 Komet, Hitler’s miracle jet fighter. If Walsh fails, there is no prospect of allied victory in
Europe.
Harry Walsh is ruthless, unorthodox and ungentlemanly. He is about to wreak havoc.
