June 1938. Europe teeters on the brink of war. Agent Tennyson Neale discovers the Führer's plot to eliminate Czechoslovakia from the European map. Hours later, Neale is found hanging from a lamppost on Budapest's Chain Bridge. Dispatched by MI6 to find his murderer and recover information crucial to Britain's survival, Harry Douglas and Mick MacLeod cross paths with Hungary's power brokers, and unearth a deadly alliance. Amidst the international intrigues and dark conspiracies of Budapest, a beautiful interpreter entangles Harry in her cause.
