A taut wartime espionage thriller built on deception and high stakes, where a British soldier's assumed identity at Nazi headquarters becomes a weapon against Rommel.

During the 1942 North African campaign, a British straggler passes as a waiter at the hotel commandeered as Erwin Rommel's headquarters. He has thoughts of assassinating Rommel but his cover may provide an even better use.
