Traitor's Game
It is the summer of 1940 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, a city that has become a bustling strategic port for the war raging in Europe. In a wealthy South End neighbourhood, the daughter of a local Royal Navy commander has just been found murdered. Her father—who just happens to be the number-one suspect—and mother are missing. To complicate matters for Halifax Police Detective Mick Blackwell, the Royal Navy has claimed jurisdiction over his investigation.
On the other side of the Atlantic, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill has just green-lit Operation Fish, an audacious gamble to ship Britain's entire gold reserves across the storm-tossed, U-boat—infested North Atlantic to Halifax to prevent them from falling into Hitler's hands. If Churchill's gambit fails and the gold is sunk or captured, Britain won't have the resources to continue the fight, and Germany will triumph by default.
