“The War in the Dark by Nick Setchfield promises to combine thrilling international intrigue with the occult during the height of the Cold War in ways we’ve never seen before.”
The Cold War, 1963.
A botched assassination of a traitor forces British Intelligence agent Christopher Winter to escape London. With a mysterious woman named Karina Lazarova, he must discover the true meaning of an occult secret written in a language of fire. A secret that gives ultimate power to those who possess it.
Racing against time with the Russians in pursuit, they follow the leads from the hellish Hungarian border to Berlin, from a strange house in Vienna to a war-torn ruin in Bavaria. There, spawned from the power of white fire and black glass, an unholy nightmare awaits.
A world of secret societies and the occult.
A world at war in the dark.
