July 1942. As attempts to overthrow Hitler continue, the plotters in Berlin place their hopes in General Erwin Rommel, a hero both to Germans and Allies alike.

Abwehr Lieutenant Ako Wolff must travel to North Africa to persuade the Desert Fox to join their cause.

But there is also another problem: a planned political assassination which could tip the balance of the war in favour of the Nazis.

Amid increasing divisions amongst the conspirators, Wolff finds himself out on his own and in great peril.

Forced into an even more dangerous mission again to save the movement from unravelling, he discovers that even those he thought he could rely on are out to kill him.
