In 1934 Dora is about ready to marry Colonel Sir Edward Ware, the baronet who owns Ware Hall in the South of England. But she finds she doesn’t know the first thing about his double life. Sure, she’s met him at the Waldorf Astoria in New York for years while she was married to Michael Byrne. But now that her former husband has gone down with the Morro Castle in an arson, she finds out that her one-time lover meets secret Nazi spies in the garden and pays them wads of money — money that her father gave her as a wedding gift! At night she hears cries outside her bedroom window. Once she finds the remains of a stolen canon under a bush. What is Edward up to? He won’t confide in her until one day at the Pyramids of Gize where they are stationed at British Mid-East Headquarters she learns the horrible truth that will change her life forever.
