The Swiss Spy

Spy Masters, Book 2

By: Alex Gerlis

Narrated by: Derek Perkins

It's not unusual for spies to have secrets, but Henry Hunter has more than most, and after he is stopped by British Intelligence at Croydon airport on the eve of the Second World War, he finds that he has even more. From Switzerland he embarks on a series of increasingly perilous missions into Nazi Germany, all while having to cope with different identities and competing spymasters. In March 1941 in Berlin, haunted by a dark episode from his past, he makes a fateful decision, resulting in a dramatic journey to the Swiss frontier with a shocking outcome. The Swiss Spy is set against the real-life backdrop of the top-secret Nazi plans to invade the Soviet Union. The story paints an authentic picture of life inside wartime Europe: the menacing atmosphere, the ever-present danger, and the constant intrigue of the world of espionage.

Great WWII spy fiction

the author goes through great pains to make this book as historically accurate as possible

Very enjoyable

I like a good spy vs spy...especially one set in War 2. This was nicely written and narrated.

Old Fashioned Spy Novel

It kept me going, with some surprises. Great book for this genre around Nazi Germany.

Even better than the first two!

The suspense of this third book is excellent. Could not stop listening. Amazon please make a series based on these books. Fantastic spy series!

Solid read
