✦ Synopsis

A rising star in Macmillan’s government in the 1950s, Minister of State for Defence, Sebastian Stuart, mysteriously disappears just weeks after being on trial for treason during the Second World War. The trial brings Stuart face to face with his one-time best friend from Oxford days, Sir Adam Steiner QC, one of the top criminal lawyers in the country. Having betrayed Steiner as students by having an affair with Mirabelle, his beautiful girlfriend, Stuart now bears the brunt of Steiner’s calculated revenge. Flashing back to their Oxford days and then edging forwards to span the Second World War period, the narrative reveals how Stuart set off to Berlin just as war is about to break out in Europe. With friends in the German aristocracy, he revels in fine dining and the company of woman, taking any opportunities which come his way to seek adventure and self-preservation above all. But his past catches up with him ... Although played out in the public eye, the fight between Steiner and Stuart is an intense personal vendetta and the dramatic end will shatter both their worlds.
