Opis

December 20th 1944 As London shivers through another dreary winter of war, an ill-defined dread stalks the city's fitful sleepers in their subterranean shelters. A dark phantom moves unseen amidst that warm, slumbering huddle of humanity, its true purpose hidden. Although the ghost of the Underground is just a bad dream for most, some within the intelligence community have read the secret Section 12 reports and fear the worst. They know they need help fast. Above ground, out in the cold, a fugitive with a vanishing past and an uncertain future stumbles blindly through the swirling smog. Listed as a deserter by the authorities and hunted by half of London's shady underworld, Sergeant Jacob Small is the last reliable remote viewer available to Allied intelligence. They will track him down at any cost. Jake desperately wants to disappear, and an unlikely alliance between a dying priest and an influential gangster might just provide that chance. All he has do is employ his unique talents to support a daring and unlikely raid and he's home free. However, the thing in the tunnels casts a long shadow, and it has a different, darker design for priests, gangsters and fugitives.
