As part of his wartime strategy, Winston Churchill formulates secret plans to force Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia to fight each other.
Convinced that Hitler and Stalin are intent on overpowering each other, British Intelligence concoct a ruthless double-cross to lure Russia and Germany into a hellish war of attrition on the Eastern Front. It will divert Hitler’s wrathful Blitz and buy Britain the most precious of all time.
The plot hinges on one man, Josef Hoffman, a humble Red Cross worker in neutral Lisbon. Hoffman must go to Russia to meet Stalin and send covert communications back to the Allies using a new cipher, the Judas Code. But who is Hoffman? And where do his loyalties really lie?
