1937. The Duke of Windsor marries the glamorous and devious American divorcee Wallis Simpson. They tour Germany fêted by the Nazi regime and flattered by Hess, Goering, Goebbels, Himmler and the Führer himself.

This causes grave concern in Britain and the United States as powerful forces vie to exploit the world´s most famous couple. Are they merely self-indulgent and naive or active participants in a terrifying conspiracy?

From palaces to corridors of power, from elegant salons and exclusive clubs to seedy back alleys a deadly game is being played behind a glittering façade of privilege.

In London, Washington, New York, Paris and Berlin the powerful flex their muscles as Germany pursues its master plan for ruthless expansion and genocide mapped out in "Mein Kampf" by its egomaniac leader Hitler.

The lives of millions are at stake as politicians and the world´s most influential businessmen and bankers gamble on extremely high stakes whilst forming alarmingly close ties with their counterparts in Germany.

In Britain out of office Winston Churchill is one of only a few prominent voices warning of the Nazi menace.

This is a fascinating story of espionage, intrigue, love, sex, politics and high finance providing an exciting but chilling backdrop to the ongoing saga of one of the World´s most high profile couples and the events that would lead to a terrible World War.
