Harry Flynn is back, and he's more dangerous than ever.....
Spring 1942. Despite the United States entry into the war, things are still going badly for the British. They find themselves facing serious reverses on many fronts, and are stretched almost beyond breaking point. In the cold waters of the North Atlantic, a battle is raging upon which the fate of Great Britain will be decided. Within this most deadly of engagements, the Nazis have the upper hand. Allied shipping is being lost to enemy submarines at an alarming rate, a rate which cannot be sustained. Both sides know that, if the British lose this campaign, they will lose the war.....
The British Security Co-ordination, a New York based MI6 department, set up in 1940 to investigate enemy activity and prevent sabotage of British interests in the United States, has been hard at work ever since it was discovered that someone, somewhere, was providing German intelligence with information to allow the U-boat fleet to better intercept British convoys. The outcome of their investigation is as simple as it is chilling. The person responsible for leaking the information must die.....
When the BSC present their findings to London, it is decided that the case is to be turned over to Department Seven, the top secret assassination and sabotage bureau.....
It's a couple of weeks since Department Seven’s top agent, Harry Flynn, returned to London from Spain. His triumph against the Nazi intelligence service sent shock waves through the corridors of power. Everyone authorised to know the most sensitive of war secrets were made to sit up and take notice of Department Seven, for Flynn delivered a stunning and sorely needed victory in the deadly clandestine war against Hitler, a victory whose ramifications are yet to be quantified.....
However, Flynn's accomplishments came at great personal cost. Tortured while in the hands of the enemy, Flynn's wounds extend far beyond the physical. Under normal circumstances, he would be removed from active service in order he has chance to recover. Unfortunately, the tide of war dictates that Department Seven cannot afford him that luxury.....
The prime minister himself has decreed that the job of removing the threat to British convoys is to be given utmost priority. The Director of Department Seven, Sir Claude Robertson QC, knows he has only one man capable of carrying out this mission. He realises he has been pushing Flynn hard these past months - how further can he expect his top agent to go before he cracks under the strain?.....
Flynn soon finds himself dispatched to New York and propelled once more into mortal danger. The gravity of the situation dictates that there can be no margin for error, or room for failure. If he is to protect British merchant shipping against the infamous U-boat wolf packs, Flynn must succeed against an enemy every inch as dangerous as the Nazis – the New York mob!....

'LINE of DUTY' is the second instalment in the Harry Flynn WW2 espionage adventure series.
