From shady Paris nightclubs to white-shoe New York law firms, from brothels in Istanbul to the dockyards of Poland, Ferrar and his allies battle the secret agents of Hitler and Franco. Joining Ferrar in this mission is a group of unlikely men and women: idealists and gangsters, arms traders and aristocrats and spies. Ferrar is approached by the embassy of the Spanish Republic and asked to help a clandestine agency trying desperately to supply weapons to the Republics beleaguered army-an effort that puts his life at risk in the battle against fascism. Cristin Ferrar, a brilliant and handsome Spanish migr, is a lawyer in the Paris office of a prestigious international law firm.
