Story
1938. In the turmoil of pre-war Italy, a painting is stowed in the false bottom of a suitcase, ready to be carried across the border. But as the train draws to a violent halt and armed officers lead the passengers onto the platform, the suitcase is taken and the painting never seen again. 1963. London is on the cusp of change in the swinging 60s. Nightclubs and exclusive parties are in their heyday. But when a lowly boarding-house mistress attempts to take on the establishment, and is accused of spying for the Russians, she can save only one thing - her reputation, or the love of her life.

Story
There's a tradition in the Sharp family that some possess the Second Sight. But is it superstition, or true psychic power? Kit Sharp is in Paris, where she is involved in a love affair with the stunning Evelyn Larsen, and working as an archivist, having inherited her historian father's fascination with the Bayeux Tapestry. He believes that parts of the tapestry were made before 1066, and that it was a tool for prediction, not a simple record of events.

Nazi-occupied Prague, 1942: Amelia is hiding in her closet when flashlights blind her and she’s captured by the SS.

Am 9. Mai 1941 kaperte die Royal Navy im Nordatlantik das deutsche U-Boot U-110 und sicherte sich dabei eine Enigma-Maschine, deren Chiffrierschlüssel und Codebücher. Die Briten konnten somit den gesamten Funkverkehr zwischen Dönitz und seinen U-Booten mitlesen. Der einzige Vorteil der Deutschen Kriegsmarine war jedoch, dass die Briten im Anfangsstadium noch sehr viele Stunden für die Entschlüsselung nur eines einzigen Funkspruches brauchten.
