Secret naval investigator

In the lead-up to World War II, Ashe Lincoln, a junior barrister, had enlisted in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve. On the outbreak of war, he was determined to serve at sea, but a mysterious midnight summons sent him hurrying from his ship to the Admiralty in London and a top-secret conference presided over by Winston Churchill. Ashe Lincoln soon found himself pitting his wits against brilliantly skillful German scientists and technicians who were secretly planning the demise of Britain�s seapower and ultimate surrender. Lincoln became a key figure in a small group in the Admiralty whose exploits have been almost forgotten. He found himself in extraordinary situations and his story is a remarkable blend of deductive enterprise and courage.
