  Amy Greenberg, a young American academic, is summoned to Ireland to claim the contents of her grandfather's safe deposit box. Her inheritance is the manuscript of a memoir by James Bondauthor Ian Fleming, containing information and accusations so confidential, so potentially explosive, that Amy soon discovers people on both sides of the Atlantic are willing to kill to maintain its secrecy. The manuscript, detailing Fleming's own involvement in British espionage during WWII, includes never-before-revealed elements of the well-known story that the Duke of Windsor was in a treasonous plot with Hitler. Amy finds herself in a race against time as she absorbs the ramifications of Fleming's claims, which are documented by Army Intelligence orders, medical records, letters stolen from the British royal family, and even Christmas cards and a receipt from legendary Parisian jeweller Van Cleef & Arpels!
