Taking a high-risk decision, Cumming believes partnering a fighter and survivor with a member of the gentry capable of gaining entry to the salons of Europe is Britain's best hope of averting disaster.With the Austrians declaring war on Serbia, Shay and Cavelle must race against time and the warmongers of Europe.
