Fascism is not extreme enough for some. In an alternative, in 1937, Britain is drifting towards dictatorship, and Hugh Clifton is trapped in his role as a fascist intelligence officer. He leads the agents of Room Z against far-right groups to stop the country from falling further into darkness but is leading his friends into danger. A cabal buried deep within the British establishment is manipulating events for its own advantage and will destroy anyone who stands in its path. Hugh and Sissy must go on the run to save Britain from becoming a Nazi puppet-and to save themselves.
