The Killers 01: To Win and to Lose

In a dawn raid on what was supposed to be a safe house, the Gestapo had caught a band of Polish resistance fighters. Among them was a British spy named Leslie Peters. So far, the Gestapo didn't know how important their prisoner was. But as soon as his true identity was revealed, they would give him up to their most proficient torturers and he would sing like a bird ... placing the lives of all the S.O.E. operatives in the country at risk.
So John Standish was ordered to rescue Peters ... or eliminate him. If possible, Standish's boss, Tristram Bowditch, wanted the spy back in one piece. They were, after all, old school chums. But when they finally met, Standish realised there was something about the man that he just couldn't trust. Was he everything he claimed to be? Or could he just possibly be a double agent who had sold his own country out to the enemy?
In To Win and To Lose, the action ranges from London to Dunkirk, from Paris to Warsaw. When 'The Killers' are called in, the pace is savage and tough. When they move, death is never far behind.
