Traitor's Purse (Heinemann, 1941)

He awoke in hospital, and didn't know who he was.

So begins this taut, war-time adventure, with Albert Campion seeking to regain not only his own identity, but the vital information which he must have in order to save England. This chilling and challenging novel places Campion in an extremely difficult position: that of an amnesiac racing against time to thwart German plans to overcome England. He finds that there is too much that he has forgotten, including his own wedding to Amanda...There is a sinister plot involving Germany and an attempt to undermine the Bank of England which appear as the tension builds: of course we know that Campion will recover his memory, will it be in time to avert the potential disaster?
