A New York Times Bestselling Author May, 1941. At four in the morning, a rust-streaked tramp freighter flying the Spanish flag steams up the Tagus River to load cargo at the port of Lisbon. But in fact, it is a Dutch freighter commanded by Capt. Eric DeHaan, sailing for British Royal Navy Intelligence. From America's preeminent spy novelist, here is an epic tale of war and espionage, of spies and fugitives, of love in secret hotel rooms, of courage in the face of impossible odds.
