Samenvatting:

A game of spies, a brutal murder, and the fate of an empire collide in a gripping historical crime thriller from the author of No Ordinary Killing.

The North Sea, October 1904—When Russian warships bombard the Hull trawler fleet, killing innocent fishermen, public outrage pushes Britain and Russia to the brink of war, the sparks from which could inflame the entire continent.

Doctor Ingo Finch, once of the Royal Army Medical Corps, is long done with military adventuring. But when a stranger seeks him out, citing a murderous conspiracy behind the infamous "Dogger Bank Incident," Finch is drawn back into the dark world of espionage.

With Whitehall, Saint Petersburg and rival Bolsheviks vying to manipulate the political crisis, the future of Britain, and Europe, is at stake . . .
