London, 1940. Winston Churchill plans to ship Britain’s precious gold reserves to a top-secret location in America. But that means crossing treacherous, U-boat-infested waters. And, little does the Prime Minister suspect, the Nazis are already onto him.
Unassuming banker Michael Travis seems just like any other city gent. But no one in town has guessed his secret.
HE'S A NAZI HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT
His mission is to gather intelligence about Churchill’s secret plans. But he never intends for Claire to become entangled in his operation.
Claire is an official at the bank. She is eager to do her part for the war effort.
Travis knows he should stay away, but there’s no denying the powerful chemistry between them.
Travis goes on the run, determined to turn the tides of war in Germany's favour.
SHE UNCOVERS HIS PLOT
Claire can’t condone his actions, but her feelings for him make her doubt herself.
Will Travis reach Berlin in time to sink the treasure ships? Or will Claire find the strength to kill the man she loves before it’s too late?
Enjoyable spy novel. Fast paced and the characters were interesting, a bit of humanity and romance, not just "boy's own adventure". I would read more of these.
A young Irish boy witnesses the murder of his family by British forces (the black and tans). Years later, after immigrating to America, he is approached by the IRA to work with nazi Germany against the British. He travels to England and befriends a woman in the hope of gaining confidential information but begins to fall in love.

A very straightforward spy thriller,defiantly a good read,not unlike some of early Ken Follett spy novels in some of the instances and style.Easy to read,plenty of action to hold ones attention,the end not quite finalised so maybe later a continuation.😎All in all I enjoyed the novel.☺
Really loved this book and the time it was written .Dollar was trained as a spy to find secrets from the british trained by the IRA after witnessing loosing his family from Ireland to the British who shot them dead !he was sent to USA . Won't say more but a great read and has a very surprising ending !!

its the story of a Nazi spy doing his best to do his best to disprute an operarion during ww2 read it, its great
A very interesting subject about which I knew very little. How Churchill moved the UK's gold reserves to safety in Canada in 1940. The author employs a spy acting for the Germans as the protagonist in a believable fictional account of the true story. The only weakness was his anachronistic description of a weapon which the vast majority of readers would probably not notice but brought my reading to a sudden halt. This is not a good thing as the reader relies on the author to be meticulous in his research with a story like this. However, this did lead me to find more factual accounts of the events and enhanced my knowledge of this particular episode in WW2 history.
