Double Threat: A World War II Historical Mystery of Espionage, Revenge and D-Day Britain (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798249807139)

Two men. Two death threats. One enemy still at large.

DOUBLE THREAT is a gripping wartime suspense novel set in June 1944, just two weeks after the Allied D-Day landings in Normandy.

Dr Roger Scarfield, a compassionate family physician who also treats soldiers in a military hospital, finds himself drawn once more into a dangerous web of intrigue. His close friend, Major James Brendan-Cox, a decorated war hero forced to leave the army due to chest disease and now serving in the police, shares his growing unease.

The two men have already unmasked a brilliant Oxford historian, Andrew Thorndike, as a German spy, a patriotic act that carried personal consequences. Thorndike had been Roger's patient, suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis, and Roger had fallen deeply in love with the spy's enigmatic sister, who now works in intelligence.

Now, both Roger and James receive chilling death threats through the post. At the same time, a disturbing wave of apparent food poisoning spreads among Roger's patients. Is it coincidence or calculated revenge?

As suspicion deepens and the war intensifies, the pair must uncover the truth before the unseen enemy strikes again. What they eventually discover shocks them both.

DOUBLE THREAT is a compelling blend of wartime mystery, espionage thriller, medical drama, and psychological suspense, perfect for readers who enjoy intelligent historical crime fiction set against the backdrop of World War II Britain.
