To safeguard the Crown Jewels from the Nazis, Winston Churchill devises a daring gamble to have them shipped overseas. The priceless artifacts will be secretly removed from the Tower of London and driven north to Scotland by two operatives posing as a young married couple, to be taken from there to Canada. Caitrin Colline--a Welsh coalminer's daughter and an ardent socialist--will play the wife of Lord Marlton, Hector Neville-Percy. A less likely couple is at first difficult to imagine. Yet Caitrin's bold, streetwise confidence and sharp wits complement Hector's social ease and connections, essential to a second part of their mission: uncovering Nazi sympathizers within the highest ranks of Britain's aristocracy. 650 0 $a Crown jewels $z Great Britain $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Undercover operations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z Great Britain $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Cultural property $x History $z Europe $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240725010140.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=39F8C4B44A4B11EFB3E903CE3AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
