Sax Rohmer

In the exotic paradise of Madeira, young Nanette has fled from her chaperone and missed the boat home-but her romantic escapade takes a dangerous turn when she becomes entangled in a deadly game of international espionage. Major Edmond O'Shea, a distinguished British intelligence officer and hero of the Great War, has been dispatched to the island to recover compromising photographs that could destabilize the British government and fuel Communist revolution across Europe. As Nanette falls hopelessly in love with the enigmatic major, she finds herself unwittingly drawn into his perilous mission. The charming Adolf Zara-in reality a ruthless agent of the sinister S Group-has targeted both O'Shea's mission and Nanette's affections. When Zara's conspiracy threatens to destroy everything she holds dear, Nanette must choose between the safety of innocence and the dangers of devotion.
