Somewhere in Germany was hidden a manuscript that would rock Western Europe to its foundations: the testament of Martin Bormann.
Special Agent Paul Chavasse is about to start a much-deserved holiday when he is abruptly pulled back to active duty. He knows that if he's being called into action, a job has gone badly wrong - and it's about to get a lot worse.

Many who are now in power have much to lose.
With instructions to secure the manuscript at all costs, British Intelligence's toughest trouble-shooter soon discovers that he isn't the only one trying to get his hands on the book. And his rivals will go to any lengths - any lengths - to beat him to it.
*Previously published as The Testament of Caspar Schultz, this new edition was revised by Jack Higgins and is now published in the UK for the first time.
