She is determined to get it back to Britain, whatever the consequences. Amid the brutal aftermath of an attempt to assassinate the Führer, Helena and Carter flee Berlin, unaware that Neumann, a Gestapo officer with a grudge, is on their tail. They take refuge in a Rhineland forest, only to face a terrifying encounter with the savagery of the crumbling Nazi regime when Helena is captured and Carter realises he would do anything to save her.
