crack' (Daily Telegraph), the Inspector Troy series is perfect for
fans of Le Carré, Philip Kerr and Alan Furst. Vienna, 1934.

pianist Viktor Rosen, a Jew in exile from Germany. The Isle of Man,

Project in Los Alomos, building the atom bomb for the Americans.

to play the cello in the camp orchestra. She is playing for her life.
London, 1948. Viktor Rosen wants to relinquish his Communist Party
