The Judas Code
O tej e-knjigi
Convinced that Hitler and Stalin are intent on overpowering each other, British Intelligence concoct a ruthless double-cross to lure Russia and Germany into a hellish war of attrition on the Eastern Front. It will divert Hitler’s wrathful Blitz and buy Britain the most precious of all commodities: time.
The plot hinges on one man, Josef Hoffman, a humble Red Cross worker in neutral Lisbon. Hoffman must go to Russia to meet Stalin and send covert communications back to the Allies using a new cipher, the Judas Code. But who is Hoffman? And where do his loyalties really lie?

O avtorju
Derek Lambert was born in 1929, and served in the RAF for two and a half years, before becoming a foreign correspondent, travelling the world to exotic locations that later inspired his novels. His travels gave him first-hand knowledge of his material and it was his authentic tales of espionage that made him a household name and bestselling author. He spent the later years of his life in Spain, where he died in 2001 at the age of 71.
