More DescriptionSpring 1938 and Great Britain is facing potentially lethal threats: the looming war with Germany; the fear that her Secret Service has been penetrated by Nazi agents and the existence of hundreds of British citizens, who are keen to pass information to her enemies. John King, a young academic, is approached by his Oxbridge mentor to participate in a stunning deception that would frustrate Britain's enemies. As King struggles to come to terms with the demands of his mission, he must learn to survive in a dangerous and lonely 'no man's land', whilst remaining one step ahead of those in hot pursuit. Adapted from a true story, 'Codename Lazarus' takes the reader on a journey from the dark heart of Hitler's Germany, across the snowy peaks of Switzerland to the horrors of Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain and the London Blitz, before reaching a thrilling and decisive conclusion, from which none of those present emerges unscathed.Additional information is available at www.apmartin.co.uk
