Sommaren 1914. Världen står inför en katastrof. Venetia Stanley är en ung, intelligent och vacker aristokrat som fördriver tiden genom en hemlig kärleksaffär med en man som är mer än dubbelt så gammal som hon. Men den äldre mannen är inte vem som helst, han är Storbritanniens premiärminister H. H. Asquith. För att behålla Venetias uppmärksamhet skriver han dagligen till henne, och delar med sig av de mest känsliga statsangelägenheterna. Samtidigt som han motvilligt leder landet till krig mot Tyskland. När en ung underrättelseofficer vid Scotland Yard får i uppdrag att undersöka en läcka av topphemliga dokument förvandlas det som börjat som en sexuell besatthet till en fråga om nationens säkerhet. En krigets och kärlekens man bygger, som så många tidigare av Robert Harris hyllade romaner, på en sann historia. Den här gången kan utredningen komma att störta den brittiska regeringen och förändra hela den politiska historien.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the bestselling author of Fatherland and Munich comes a WWII thriller about a German rocket engineer, a former actress turned British spy, and the Nazi rocket program. The first rocket will take five minutes to hit London. You have six minutes to stop the second. Rudi Graf is an engineer who always dreamed of sending rockets to the moon. But instead, he finds himself working alongside Wernher von Braun, launching V2 rockets at London for the Nazis from a bleak seaside town in occupied Holland. As the SS increases its scrutiny on the project, Graf, an engineer more than a soldier, has to muster all of his willpower to toe the party line. And when rumors of a defector circulate through the German ranks, Graf becomes a prime suspect. Meanwhile, Kay Caton-Walsh, a young English intelligence officer, is living through the turmoil of war. After she and her lover, an RAF officer, are caught in a V2 attack, she volunteers to ship out for newly liberated Belgium. Armed with little more than a slide rule and a few equations, Kay and her colleagues hope to locate and destroy the launch sites. But at this stage in the war it's hard to know who, if anyone, she can trust. As the death toll soars, these twin stories play out against the background of the German missile campaign during the Second World War. And what the reader comes to understand is that Kay's and Graf's destinies are on a collision course.
