About This Book

A pair of Royal Air Force pilots transfer to Singapore and volunteer for a hazardous intelligence operation to uncover a leak that has been informing enemy forces, risking exposure and death. Their mission draws them into the city's squalid waterfront quarter, where a shadowy informant operates a seedy establishment used for espionage, and into aerial skirmishes, secret messages, and desperate flights as the enemy strikes. The narrative blends wartime adventure, camaraderie, and intelligence work, moving from clandestine investigation to dogfights and evasion under imminent threat.
