443 95784953-2f36-4f0f-8d63-afdb7e73a3df The Key to Rebecca Ken Follett calibre (2.69.0) [https://calibre-ebook.com] 2003-02-03T11:00:00+00:00 <p class="description">EDITORIAL REVIEW: Set in North Africa, summer 1942, during Rommel's campaign against the British. This is the story of Alex Wolff, master spy, who treks across the Sahara and covertly enters the plot-ridden streets of wartime Cairo. And of Major Vandam, the British officer who is on Wolff's trail, sworn to destroy him. Wolff's mission is to steal British military plans and send them to Rommel, using a code whose key is buried in the pages of Daphne du Maurier's novel Rebecca. As Rommel's troops come closer to victory, Vandam edges closer to Wolff and the crucial key. There are incredible chase scenes: a motorcycle hurtling through blacked-out Cairo; the flash of a knife, a gush of hot blood, and the fleeting shadow of an escaping assassin; a harrowing race against death and a speeding train. Follett builds tension and suspense to a screaming pitch as he follows the adversaries across the internal desert to a confrontation as startling as it is explosive.</p> PENGUIN group 9780451207791 eng Fiction Mystery Suspense Thriller Mystery & Detective General Thrillers Fiction - Espionage Espionage Media Tie-In History Mystery & Detective - General War & Military Intrigue 1939-1945 - Secret service 1939-1945 Military World War World War II Spy stories
