The Spanish Civil War has ended. But with World War II raging, Generalisimo Francisco Franco is presented with a fresh temptation: join the Axis powers and drive the British from their stronghold in Gibraltar - the key to the Mediterranean.
Charles Bramall, newly recruited by MI6, is sent to help drive a wedge between Franco and Hitler. He enlists help from two unlikely sources, Isabel Ortega the beautiful, headstrong daughter of a top Spanish official, and Eddy Romero a maverick, half-Spanish Dubliner who fought in the International Brigades and burns with a hatred of the British Empire. The three face impossible odds. Can they overcome their backgrounds, including the legacy of a terrible murder, in time to stop Gibraltar from falling to the Nazis? In this compelling, suspense-filled novel, in which the intrigue comes draped in mystery and betrayal, we are invited into a world where empires collide and Europe's future hangs in the balance.
