Hillyard & Cleef er et respektabelt og velrenommeret bankfirma beliggende midt i London. Laurence Pilgrim – den nyudnævnte amerikanskfødte direktør, der ser det som sin opgave at styre firmaet ind i det tyvende århundrede – opdager, at banken hvert år har sat en betragtelig sum penge ind på en nummereret schweizisk konto. Ingen kender årsagen til disse udbetalinger, og Laurences forsøg på at løse mysteriet bremses hele tiden. Da han imidlertid stædigt fortsætter, modtager han et brev, der forvirrer ham endnu mere. Ifølge brevet vil historien bag betalingen afsløres for ham i en beretning af syv dele. Men afsløringen kommer til at koste ham dyrt på både krop og sjæl.

Cut off from civilisation, the temperature dropping fast, no way out... Seven thousand feet up on the Greenland ice-cap, in the teeth of ‘white-out’ blizzards and howling Arctic gales, a US military Polar research station lies cut off beneath the ice. At Camp Hundred, deep underground, three hundred men live – with a battery of technology to protect them from the lethal climate. But the technology begins to fail: ‘accidents’ happen too often to be coincidence. The isolated camp becomes a death-trap, with a madman setting the snares. A bone-chilling thriller that will have your heart in your mouth, perfect for fans of Jack Higgins, Hammond Innes and Len Deighton.

A covert game of cat and mouse will decide the victor of the Second World War. 1941. The battleship Prince of Wales races across the war-darkened Atlantic. Her secret human cargo makes her an irresistible prize for U-Boats. And the man she carries can, singlehanded, win or lose the war for Britain. But the most lethal threat comes from the air. For on the far side of the ocean three men are waiting for their brief to strike a deathblow for Germany. As the battleship nears its destination, a seaplane roars into life, and the deadly game begins in earnest... A vintage and enthralling WWII thriller from a master of the genre, this is top-rate historical fiction, perfect for fans of Max Hennessy, Alistair MacLean and Nevil Shute.
