Publisher's Synopsis
"The novelist who out-Macleans Alistair" NEW YORK TIMES It is April 1941 and the monastery on the heights of Zervos is taking on a crucial new significance as the Germans prepare to invade Greece. A Scots secret agent, a Greek patriot and two English soldiers face tremendous odds as they race against time to deny crack Nazi troops the use of this vital observation post. The non-stop action begins at sea and is continued overland in a murderous, mind-killing creep up the ice-bound mountain, culminating in a breath-taking, nail-biting finish.
