'An absorbingly and well-written book' New York Times

Major Harry Maxim, ex-SAS and special adviser to number 10 Downing Street, is about to get drawn into conflict on an international scale.

An English corporal, a cabinet convulsion in East Germany, and a double murder in a small West German town all seem to be connected by a dark secret from the past, and it's down to Harry Maxim to uncover before it's too late.

The Conduct of Major Maxim is the second novel in the Major Harry Maxim Series.
