About this listen

This big-canvas international spy thriller marks the beginning of a brilliant new direction for Rory Clements.

1936. Europe is in turmoil. The Nazis have marched into the Rhineland. In Russia, Stalin has unleashed his Great Terror. Spain has erupted in civil war. In Berlin, a young Englishwoman evades the Gestapo to deliver vital papers to a Jewish scientist. Within weeks she is found dead, a silver syringe clutched in her fingers.

In an exclusive London club, a conspiracy is launched that threatens the very heart of government. When a renowned society couple with fascist leanings are found brutally murdered, a maverick Cambridge professor is drawn into a world of espionage he knows only from history books. The deeper Thomas Wilde delves, the more he finds to link the murders with the girl with the silver syringe - and, even more worryingly, to the scandal surrounding the Abdication....

Critic reviews

"Rich in deceptions and intrigue...a standout historical novel and spy thriller." ( The Daily Express)
"Rory Clements's timely spy thriller set in the 1930s evokes a period of political polarisation, mistrust and simmering violence. Corpus is fast-paced and there are plenty of red herrings to keep you guessing." ( The Times)

I recently read a new book by Rory Clements and enjoyed the atmosphere and close depiction of historical events. A great way to learn about key moments in history. I have gone back to the first Tom Wilde book and really looking forward to the next in the series.

The characters were well defined. The exciting plot was intricate but not difficult to follow. It’s interesting to speculate on how much was fact and how much fiction.
Adam Sims was an excellent reader. His speech was clear, well paced and expressive. He added to the characterisation by his effective use of accents.
