Legacy of War

Smith, Wilbur A.

£8.99

Just because the war is over and Hitler dead, doesn’t mean the politics he stood for have died too. Saffron Courtney and her beloved husband Gerhard only just survived the brutal war, but Gerhard’s Nazi-supporting brother, Konrad, is still free and determined to regain power. As a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse develops, a plot against the couple begins to stir. One that will have ramifications throughout Europe. Further afield in Kenya, the last outcrop of the colonial empire is feeling the stirrings of rebellion. As the situation becomes violent, and the Courtney family home is under threat, Leon Courtney finds himself caught between two powerful sides – and a battle for the freedom of a country.
