Synopsis

In the third installment of the Christopher Marlowe Cobb series, Kit uncovers a secret German plan to weaponize Zeppelins and shift the tide of World War I. As a full-blown spy in England, Kit works undercover in a castle owned by a suspected British mole, Sir Albert Stockman. The situation is complicated by the presence of his mother, Isabel Cobb, a famous actress who is also a spy tasked with seducing Stockman. Kit must navigate this dangerous web of espionage, family loyalty, and potential betrayal as he follows his mother and Stockman into the heart of Berlin, all while maintaining his cover under the Kaiser's watchful eye.
