In 1952, twelve years after Britain succumbed to Nazi Germany, the nation is under oppressive authoritarian rule. The press and media are tightly controlled, streets are patrolled by violent police, and British Jews face increasing persecution. Rumors swirl about dark activities at the German Embassy. Amidst this turmoil, Winston Churchill's Resistance organization is gaining momentum, challenging the government's authority. In a Birmingham mental hospital, scientist Frank Muncaster holds a secret that could alter the course of the war. Civil Servant David Fitzgerald, secretly working for the Resistance, is tasked with rescuing Frank and helping him escape. Joined by a diverse group of activists, they become fugitives in the midst of London’s Great Smog. Meanwhile, David's wife, Sarah, is drawn into a terrifying new reality. Pursuing them is Gestapo Sturmbannfuhrer Gunther Hoth, a relentless and skilled hunter. This narrative is a vivid reimagining of 1950s Britain, blending elements of a gripping spy thriller, a poignant love story, and a profound exploration of human resilience against tyranny. C.J. Sansom masterfully weaves these themes into a compelling historical novel.
