Produktbeschreibung

In Berlin, he was the student. In London, he becomes the master.

Three years ago, Nathan Tower's first intelligence operation ended in humiliation. Conrad Klein, one of Germany's most skilled spymasters, effortlessly manipulated the naive American attaché, teaching him brutal lessons about how espionage really works in the capitals of Europe.

Tower learned those lessons well. Too well.

Now posted to London in 1877, Tower has spent fourteen months patiently building what Klein taught him to create: an intelligence network that operates in the shadows of British society. When he discovers Klein's own agent working in the German embassy, Tower sees his opportunitynot for revenge, but for something far more sophisticated.

Klein is coming to London for a secret conference on colonial expansion. He has no idea that Tower is waiting for him, or that the American has orchestrated an operation so elegant that Klein himself would admire it.

But espionage is never simple, and even perfect plans can unravel:

• A German professor reports suspicious activity to Klein
• Tower must rescue an innocent woman trapped in Klein's network
• Anna, Tower's recruited double agent, must maintain her cover under Klein's watchful eye
• The elaborate deception hinges on split-second timing and flawless execution

As fog rolls through London's gaslit streets, Tower prepares to show his former teacher exactly what he learned in Berlin.

London Fog is the third book in the Nathan Tower series of historical espionage novellas. Set against the backdrop of Victorian London and European colonial ambitions, it's a tale of intelligence, deception, and the dangerous game between nations.

• Authentic historical detail that brings the 1870s to life
