Autumn, 1944. The Channel islands remain a bastion of Nazi-occupied territory. On Jersey, Colonel Max von Aufsess is in charge of liaising with the civilian population. He has little time for his fanatical colleagues, and has earned the respect of many of the Islanders. When Max discovers several corpses washed up on the beach he is compelled to investigate. The dead men wear the distinctive striped uniform of concentration camp inmates, but the nearest camp is over 500 miles away. An escaped Ukrainian prisoner leads him to Alderney, the 'Island of Silence'. There lies a secret concentration camp, whose inmates are being forced to construct a crude nuclear weapon intended for nearby London. Max knows he has to stop it, yet he can't do it alone.
But will the Islanders trust a man who wears the swastika?
