The second instalment in the thrilling WW2 Joseph Gunner series, from the award-winning author of the Harry McCoy books
New York, December 1941.
Joseph Gunner, former soldier, is off the front lines and on the streets of New York, tasked with helping tip America into the Second World War.
Working for a section of the British Secret Service, Gunner spends his days covertly encouraging pro-war sentiment through planted news stories, radio broadcasts and even blackmail.
But when a honeytrap mission with a prominent US politician goes wrong and the young woman involved is found dead, Gunner realises he has a target on his back. Who silenced her? Who knew their plan? And who has betrayed Gunner?
As he investigates, Gunner is plunged into the secretive world of Nazis in America, the NYPD and the mobs of New York, as the body count quickly stacks up. With world events accelerating, Gunner finds himself in a race against time before he becomes the next victim. Soon, he'll uncover a conspiracy that goes beyond what he thought was possible.
A riveting and atmospheric wartime thriller, Deception is the second novel in the acclaimed Joseph Gunner series.
