Fast paced, enjoyable and I learnt about the death of Prince George - a historical incident I had no idea about until this book.
I would recommend reading the other Tom Wilde books if you haven't already done so as - although this is a stand alone novel and you do not need to read the series - the earlier books really help explain how Tom ends up as a spy.
Rory Clements is one of my favourite authors, his John Shakespeare series is brilliant and I am really starting to enjoy the Tom Wilde one as well.
"Sweden, 1942 - Two old friends meet. They are cousins. One is Prince George, Duke of Kent, brother of the King of England. The other is Prince Philipp von Hesse, a committed Nazi and close friend of Adolf Hitler.
Days later, the Prince George is killed in a plane crash in the north of Scotland. The official story is that it was an accident - but not everyone is convinced.
There is even a suggestion that the Duke's plane was sabotaged, but with no evidence, Cambridge spy Tom Wilde is sent north to discover the truth . . ."
