It was a long, long war for Harry Cassidy.
He was a strip of a lad in short pants when Hitler's bombs forced him out of the city to the remote countryside.
He was newly out of high school when he put on his khaki army uniform, picked up a rifle, and drilled to kill for his country.
He was a university student when he was lured into intelligence work where he lost his innocence in the murky depths of espionage, and his treasonous first young love to an assassin with a license to kill.
In this riveting story, names have been changed to protect the innocent -- and the guilty -- and to keep faith with the Official Secrets Act the author signed almost a lifetime ago.
But Young Blood is the dramatic story of a casualty of war whose childhood and youth were sacrificed to the most evil years of the twentieth century - without ever firing a shot in anger.
Alistair Kinnon is the author of bestselling crime books, including The Tangled Web and The Noose Tightens.
