Description:
Wales 1940. When little Adam O'Shea fell into the River Usk it took so long to get him out again that he was left with severe learning difficulties. Now the Germans invade and his mother is killed and his father Danny has only one thought, to get his son to safety in neutral Ireland. But on the way Danny and Adam are caught up in another kind of war when Welsh Nationalists ambush a German convoy and discover a terrifying new and highly secret weapon. When the significance of the discovery is realised greed and naked ambition quickly replace any Nationalist agenda. Then the weapon disappears. Violence and death erupts all around them and all Danny O'Shea wants to do is get his son to Ireland, but betrayal and lies hamper every move he makes. Why do they think he knows something about where the weapon is hidden? Had he overheard something crucial and not even realised it? What did Bethan mean by 'Alice through the looking glass' and is Danny's trust in the beautiful Cerys justified? And who is the mysterious German called Weiss? Fast and furious, you'll be kept intrigued until the very last page.
