Rudolf Hess, Hitler's deputy and right hand man, flew to Scotland on a mysterious peace mission in 1941, which has never been convincingly explained. Rick Coleman, an investigative journalist, determines to uncover the secrets. Taking place in the now, but with flashback chapters which gradually unfold the hidden secrets, the novel is a fast moving and compelling read, based on the family knowledge of the author whose parents had connections to both Hess and Hitler and to British Intelligence.
