Summer, 1940 - Berlin.
Catapulted into the world of British espionage, Xanthe Schneider is sent into the terrifying and perilous heart of Nazi Germany.
She is tasked with finding out whether a former government minister she had known briefly in London - Ralph Lancing-Price - is a patriot or traitor.
Disguised as an American correspondent, Xanthe sets out to find him. But not all is what it seems. Xanthe soon becomes drawn into a web of intrigue involving a project entitled "Enigma" and an unexpected love affair.
As the weeks go by, and Germany begins to mobilise its armies, Xanthe has to revaluate who she can trust and how she can survive.
