The follow-up to 'Jack of Spies' finds Jack McColl in India in 1916 trying to keep a consignment of German guns from ending up in the hands of Indian rebels. McColl is doing his job although he can't help admiring the ideals of the rebels, if not their methods. Caitlin is still very much in his head but after his betrayal of her brother Jack's pretty sure she'd rather knife him than talk to him. For her part Caitlin has stayed in London and become a European correspondent her fearless nature and neutral status as an American journalist allows her to visit both sides of the trenches, too close for her own good in some cases.
Ireland and rumours of an uprising against the British are the flashpoint that brings the two back together on opposite sides once again and this time Caitlin is ready to betray Jack.
