Summary

In 1944 an extraordinary event occurred that would captivate the intelligence agencies of the UK and US governments for decades to come. It was a journey neither government had experienced before or could ever have contemplated.

The event that had drawn both governments together was ruthlessly protected with such pragmatic and uncompromising determination that to date the secrecy of this joint operation had not been compromised. And so, a multi-billion-dollar operation had evolved over the intervening decades and was focussed on just one individual, Jamie Carter, who was presently living in Jersey.

Carter was unaware of what was about to unfold and powerless to change a thing.

In the coming days, both governments hoped to be able to establish just how Jamie's mobile phone, credit cards and cash had been recovered in Berlin shortly after the end second world war.
