Jack Kavanagh was an Irish hero, jailed for fighting
against fascism in Spain, when the Nazis offered him the choice of
working for them or rotting in prison. His reluctant mission is to
foment an uprising in Ireland that distracts the English and lays
them open to Nazi invasion. But all too quickly and cruelly he learns
he is but a dupe in a deadly doublecross--a pawn in a bloody
assassination plot. Trapped in this sinister scheme engineered by
the Third Reich's most feared secret agent, desperate about the fate
of World War II and his own life, Kavanagh turns to beautiful
Bridget O'Toole, the only one knowledgeable and daring enough to
help him. As the two of them race to beat the agonizing odds, the
clock of terror ticks away and the countdown begins on one of the
most savage and cowardly acts of violence meant to change the course
of history....
