North Africa, 1942: THE DESERT FOX IS SET TO CRUSH THE ALLIES...

The desert war hangs in the balance. When the commander of the Eighth Army, General Gott, is killed, it's clear that foul play is at work. An impenetrable Axis spy circuit is compromising any hope the Allies have of stemming the Nazi tide.

After a period recovering from wounds in a Cairo hospital, Jack Tanner and his trusty sidekick Sykes are recruited to work behind the Axis lines in a desperate attempt to fight back. But the murky world of deceit and murder they find themselves in is a million miles away from the certainties of the battlefield.

Somehow they must discover who they can trust in the cat-and-mouse world of counter-espionage before it's too late...

Jack Tanner's adventures conclude in The Devil's Pact.

The new, sweeping World War II book from James Holland, THE SAVAGE STORM is available for pre-order now.
