Meer over het boek

"A gruesome discovery at an aircraft hanger leads Albert Campion into a turbulent mystery set in Cambridge in the middle of the Cold War. Cambridge, 1965. The honorary doctorate ceremony for Albert Campion's wife takes a dramatic turn when Lady Amanda is arrested by Special Branch for breaking the Official Secrets Act. The arrest is part of Amanda's elaborate plan to catch the person responsible for leaking sensitive aeronautical research from Alandel Aeroplanes. By setting up the Goshawk Project - an ambitious research project to design a revolutionary jet fighter with forward-swept wings - and seconding her four senior Alandel engineers to the project, Amanda hopes to flush out the culprit. But the day after her arrest, a bizarre and gruesome industrial accident occurs at the Goshawk Project's hangar. Faced with a turbulent mix of industrial espionage and matters of national security, can Campion stop himself being blown off course as he attempts to get to the bottom of the deadly goings-on?"--Provided by publisher
