About this listen

July 1940. England prepares for invasion, all eyes focused on its borders.

But such focus inevitably leaves gaps elsewhere, and Hitler sees an opportunity to carry out an audacious plot that would change the course of the war…

The Duke of Windsor, brother to King George VI and former ruler of the United Kingdom in his own right, is a target.

Hitler’s intention: to kidnap him and hold him ransom – the ultimate leverage against an embattled and beleaguered British government.

But can it really be done? And who amongst the German secret services is audacious enough to set a trap to catch a king?

When in the opening the Duke of Windsor, a Nazi sympathizer, was described as 'an honorable man' I switched off.

i have purchased loads of stories off audible and the narrator makes or breaks the book. The delivery on this one is just awful, and the editing is really bad as well. Shame as the story is really good bit completely ruined
