The Corners of the Globe

Read The Corners of the Globe Storyline:

Spring, 1919. James 'Max' Maxted, former Great War flying ace, returns
to the trail of murder, treachery and half-buried secrets he set out on
in The Ways of the World. He left Paris after avenging the murder of his
father, Sir Henry Maxted, a senior member of the British delegation to
the post-war peace conference. But he was convinced there was more -
much more - to be discovered about what Sir Henry had been trying to
accomplish. And he suspected elusive German spymaster Fritz Lemmer knew
the truth of it. Now, enlisted under false colours in Lemmer's service
but with his loyalty pledged to the British Secret Service, Max sets out
on his first - and possibly last - mission for Lemmer. It takes him to
the far north of Scotland - to the Orkney Isles, where the German High
Seas Fleet has been impounded in Scapa Flow, its fate to be decided at
the conference-table in Paris. Max has been sent to recover a document
held aboard one of the German ships. What that document contains forces
him to break cover sooner than he would have wished and to embark on a
desperate race south, towards London, with information that could
destroy Lemmer - if Max, as seems unlikely, lives to deliver it...
