November 1943. Adolf Hitler sanctions his most audacious mission ever - to kill President Franklin D Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill as they visit Cairo for a secret conference to plan the Allied invasion of Europe.
Only one man is capable of leading the Nazi mission - Major Johann Halder, one of the Abwehr's most brilliant agents, a man with a tortured soul and a talent for the impossible. Accompanied by an expert undercover team and young Egyptologist Rachel Stern, Halder must race against time across a hostile desert, to reach Cairo and successfully carry out the assignment, or forfeit his own life and that of his young son.
When US military intelligence learn of the plan, they assign Lieutenant-Colonel Harry Weaver to hunt down and eliminate Halder and his team. But for Weaver, as for Halder and Stern, there's more than just the balance of war and the lives of the Allied leaders at stake.
A pact of love and friendship is about to be tested in a frantic, high-stakes chase to the death.
