One man at the heart of American power must undertake a crucial wartime mission that will take him into enemy territory before he even leaves US soil.
1941. Quincy Kane, former star of the Boston Police Department and scourge of organised crime, finds himself guarding the most important man in the country: President Roosevelt. Kane's trusted position reflects his meteoric rise in the Secret Service.
Then Imperial Japan attacks the US naval base at Pearl Harbor.
For Kane, US entry to World War Two means he is soon tasked with the most crucial mission of his career: a complex scheme of bribery and subterfuge that could change the course of the conflict and save thousands of Allied lives.
To succeed, he will have to return to the world of organised crime, a web that is spun from the home of Hollywood, Tinseltown itself: Los Angeles, where every gangster has Quincy Kane in their crosshairs.
His mission is set to take him across the Atlantic... but first Kane must survive the City of Angels.
From award-winning author Graham Hurley, Kane is a thrilling part of the Spoils of War Collection, a non-chronological series set during World War II and featuring some of the most momentous stories and figures of the era.
