Jack Higgins's previous novels Edge of Danger and Midnight Runner put British intelligence agent Sean Dillon through "a lot of thrills [and] wild action" (Los Angeles Times) with the ruthless Arab-English Rashid family. Now an enemy has emerged with a dark secret from America's past -- and a score to settle with agent Dillon.

In the waning days of World War II, Hitler entrusted his "holy" diary -- a document detailing clandestine communications between Nazi Germany and the United States -- to a young aide, Max von Berger. Hitler's instructions were to keep it hidden until it could be used to advance their cause...

Today, von Berger has assumed control of the Rashid family fortune -- and is still loyal to his fuhrer. His plan is to use the information to destroy President Jake Cazalet -- and Cazalet's powerful enemies are willing to help by any means neccesary.

And White House operative Blake Johnson and British intelligence agen Sean Dillon must traverse the hairpin twists of an international conspiracy and keep Hitler's diary out of the wrong hands...
