Frank Cork is back!
World War II rages across Europe, Britain’s fate hangs by a thread, and America is out of money. Into the chasm steps Frank Cork, with his family and sidekick in tow. From a splendid townhouse on the edge of Hyde Park in London, Frank must outwit the charismatic ambassador, the battle-hardened general, and the ruthless steel industry shill. Beset by bombs, politics, and the love triangle at the heart of the story, can Frank find the money to fund a path to peace?
