Overview

When Cambridge cryptography professor Malcolm Thorne notices unusual rust patterns on an old water tower during a holiday in Wales, he has no idea he's stumbled upon a Cold War-era cipher with global implications. Teaming up with local historian Eleri Davies, Malcolm finds himself drawn into a dangerous game of international espionage as Chinese, American, and British intelligence agents converge on the quiet narrow gauge railways of rural Wales. As bullets fly and hidden facilities reveal decades-old secrets, Malcolm must use his academic expertise to decode messages hidden in plain sight-messages that could prevent a new nuclear arms race. But when he discovers he's being tested by a secretive organisation with ties to a Soviet defector, Malcolm must decide if he's willing to trade his comfortable academic life for a shadow world where success means disasters that never happen and victories no one will ever know. Set at Dolgoch station on the world's first preserved railway, the Tal-y-llyn Railway in Gwynedd, this is a thrilling new story not to be missed!
