'Races along, with plenty of surprises'Times
February, 1944.
A bitter winter grips occupied France, where Marc Reece leads a circuit of British agents risking their lives in order to sabotage the German war effort from within.
But Reece has a second mission, secret even from his fellow agents - including Charlotte, the woman with whom he has ill-advisedly fallen in love. He must secure a document identifying a German spy at the heart of British intelligence. The fate of the Allied forces on D-Day is in his hands.
But when his circuit is ambushed - with fatal consequences - Reece realizes there may be a traitor in its ranks, putting everything they've been fighting for at risk.
Then Charlotte goes missing.
Is she in danger, or has Reece been betrayed by the only person he thought he could trust?
And with the clock ticking towards D-Day, can he find the truth before it's too late?
A gripping and atmospheric thriller inspired by true events, this is the story of a deadly game of espionage, destined to change the course of the most crucial battle in the Second World War.

Smart, stylish, meticulously researched. Rich in loyalty and double dealing, captures perfectly the horror and heroism, delivered at a cracking pace
Races along, with plenty of surprises
Brilliant. Blends meticulously researched history with a plot of double-crossing and deception
Gripping . . . For someone with a keen interest in history, as well as a love of a well-written thriller, this book provides perfect escapism
Praise forLiberation Square
Far more than an intellectual exercise - it isa gripping story, with heart
(A) richly imagined thriller . . . Tightly plotted, tense and set in a chillingly plausible world
An authentic and chilling tale
Aninteresting takeon the 'What if we'd lost World War II?' debate. Agripping and well-imagined yarn
Gripping
A tight and compelling thriller
A twisting murder mystery combined with a chillingly plausible alternative history of a divided Cold War London. Brilliant
Rubin constructs a tantalising alternative world with 1950s Britain riven apart by its own version of the Berlin Wall - and all because the D-Day landings failed. Against this dystopian nightmare, the author overlays a murder mystery that's sure to appeal to fans ofSS-GB,The Man in the High Castle, andFatherland
A gripping murder mystery set in an alternative 1950s Britain. Rubin's London, split between American and Soviet zones after a disastrous World War Two, is vividly realised and his story is elegantly constructed. One not to miss
In the great tradition ofSS-GBandFatherland, Rubin's alternative-1950s murder mystery takes an ingenious premise - the Americans and the Soviets have carved up Britain between them after rescuing the country from the Nazis - and makes it come alive through sheer storytelling skill
