Summary
World War II Germany: The German war machine has invaded Poland and is advancing west toward France.
In Berlin, Kurt Müller, an Abwehr signalman, discovers a colleague lying dead at his radio receiver. The criminal police dismiss the death as suicide, but Kurt is not convinced. Kurt follows a trail of mysteries, witnessing several atrocities that expose the Nazi regime for what it truly is. When the trail leads him to the German resistance, he faces the most difficult choices of his life. He must choose between his duty and his conscience, between his country and his family, between love and death.

A purchase mistake that turned out not to be?
As per review title I thought that this was a different book but another mistake that turned out tops for me. Not the usual rubbish associated with this type of spy novel. It proves to be well researched yet certainly suspenseful and believable. Even the love interest is interesting and well presented. I certainly intend to continue this series.

Well worth reading
I expected something average or below considering this was refused by publishers. However, it is a great story, maintaining varying levels of tension as it progresses. It has very well drawn, interesting characters. It is not 'high' literature, but is well worth reading. I certainly do not regret it.

Well researched and full of plot twists!
JJ Toner has done his research about WW2 Germany, and intertwines his story with real world events well. Very intense in places and quite descriptive. The plot is stretched out too much is some places but other than that fantastic book!

All in all, a good listen
Liked the story. Took an age to get used to the narrator - he isn't a character voices man. Worth a listen for sure but I think I'd be disappointed if I'd paid for the book.

A scary time for everyone.
This was a very frightening time for everyone in Germany. They were all paranoid
Because the slightest slipped of the tongue may mean that someone would report them to the Gustapo. This included all Germans and even their decorated Officers - no one was safe.

Clever spy story
A clever and complicated spy story, but marred by a reader with no knowledge of German pronunciation.
