Erwin Rommel, Hitler's Desert Fox, is poised to defeat the reeling British army in Egypt and thwart America's first operation in Europe. Only the tiny, embattled, half-starved Mediterranean island of Malta stands in Rommel's way. Will heroism and devotion be enough to stave off the implacable forces of Hitler's all-conquering Third Reich and Mussolini's new Roman Empire? And, as the battle rages, the relentless strains of war threaten not only the survival of Malta but also the survival of Johnnie and Eleanor's relationship.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. When young Michael Callaway is murdered at the cloistered confines of Kings School, an exclusive private boarding school for the sons of the British upper classes, Chief Inspector Thomas Ford of Scotland Yard is dispatched to investigate. But Ford is haunted by grim memories of his own days at Kings and even more ghastly memories of his time spent in the trenches during the Great War. Ford's investigation doesn't start well.
