Summary
It's not unusual for spies to have secrets, but Henry Hunter has more than most, and after he is stopped by British Intelligence at Croydon airport on the eve of the Second World War, he finds he has even more.
In March 1941 in Berlin, haunted by a dark episode from his past, he makes a fateful decision resulting in a dramatic journey to the Swiss frontier, with a shocking outcome.

Fabulous
One of the best spy novels I’ve read. Twists and turns and heart in your mouth moments. Loved the narrator’s voice. Highly recommend!

Excellent narration.
The narrator really keeps this story flowing well and so easy to listen to. Another really good spy story, although I did get lost a little in the middle on various aspects. A quick rewind sorted that out and I thoroughly enjoyed this story having heard it right after the first in the series. Off to download the third now. An intriguing set of books which prompt historical reflection.

Excellent.
Another WWII spy story from a master of the genre. Superbly narrated by Stephen Critchlow. Every book I’ve read by Alex Gerlis has been absolutely excellent. Fast paced, detailed, intelligent and totally plausible, it’s easy to think of them as history. If you enjoy a character and plot based spy story, look no further than Mr Gerlis, you won’t be disappointed.

Unusual but realistic
Overall a good story and I imagine a realistic interpretation of the environment and events of the time. Warning, some scenes are quite shocking! Narration a little spoilt by poor and inconsistent pronunciation of place names.

Exceeded my expectations
This audiobook was far better than I thought it would be and several times was on the edge of my seat biting my nails. The narrator was superb and I will look out for other titles by this author.

Well written but not well produced.
An exciting and enjoyable read with plenty of hooks to keep the reader interested. The narrator is a very good actor with the ability to convey different voices and accents, however much of the action takes place in Germany or German speaking Switzerland and his erratic and annoyingly inaccurate German pronunciation is very irritating for anyone who knows the language. German has easy pronunciation rules which even a non speaker can learn and master. Certainly this gifted reader with his good ear for accents could have mastered it. It seems no one prepared him.
Apart from that it's a good and well read novel.
