The Dying Peace

A Brinley Knight Spy Thriller, Book 2

By: Jana Petken

Narrated by: John Sackville

Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain pins all Britain’s hopes for peace on a face-to-face meeting with Adolf Hitler in Munich, but behind their civilized discussions, Germany amasses armaments and moves its plans forward for its invasion of Czechoslovakia.

Gerhardt von Kessler continues to operate his deadly rogue operations in Britain, and he is always one step ahead of MI5. Brinley Knight uncovers startling evidence against Sir Oswald Mosley, including a foreign dictator secretly funding the British Union of Fascists, and a conspiracy to overthrow the British government and King George VI in a violent coup.

As the political division in Britain grows, unexpected help for Brinley Knight and MI5 comes from a high-ranking officer in Hitler’s Nazi regime. In Berlin, Ursula Engel prepares to return to London and join MI5, but Gerhardt von Kessler has other plans for her.
