Somewhere in Germany was hidden a manuscript that would rock Western Europe to its foundations: the testament of Martin Bormann.

Special Agent Paul Chavasse is about to start a much-deserved holiday when he is abruptly pulled back to active duty. He knows that if he’s being called into action, a job has gone badly wrong – and it’s about to get a lot worse.

Somewhere in Germany is hidden a manuscript that could rock Western Europe to its foundations: the testament of Martin Bormann. As Hitler’s private secretary – and an influential member of the Third Reich – the terrible secrets Bormann carried into oblivion are about to be revealed. Many who are now in power have much to lose.

With instructions to secure the manuscript at all costs, British Intelligence's toughest trouble-shooter soon discovers that he isn't the only one trying to get his hands on the book. And his rivals will go to any lengths – any lengths – to beat him to it.

Previously published as The Testament of Caspar Schultz, this new edition was revised by Jack Higgins and is now published in the UK for the first time.
