Publisher's Synopsis
Owen Bradwell is a courageous naval officer who returns to England in the 1930s. He believes that his career is over because he has become colour-blind - but with Nazi Germany an increasing menace, the authorities cannot do without Bradwell, and he is assigned a special mission. A former aquaintance of Bradwell's has been trapped into betraying his country's secrets by a Nazi agent. Bradwell is soon sent to spy on the spy, and travels down the Thames on a surveillance trip under the cover of a fishing weekend. Things soon take an unexpected turn, and Bradwell finds himself in the company of a dead man, and a pretty young interior decorator called Sally.
