A battle of nerves between a British squadron-leader and a German sea-captain.
Deep in a Norwegian fjord hides the German merchant-cruiser Groningen. Squadron-leader Guy Strickland knows it is there, but Military Intelligence refuses to take his word for granted.
He leads his exhausted squadron into the air in order to take the vital photographic evidence - but only his plane returns.
A maverick and a brilliant flyer, Strickland becomes obsessed with the Groningen. So begins a grim and bitter struggle to the death, between Brit and German, between the plane and the ship...
This thrilling wartime action story by a master storyteller of drama in the air vibrates with tension to the final page, and is perfect for fans of Max Hennessy, W. E. Johns and Alistair MacLean.
Born in Ceylon in 1919, Beaty was educated at Kingswood, Bath and Merton College, Oxford. He became an RAF pilot during WWII, where he excelled, but gave up a life in the Air Force to write full-time. However, his experiences informed his many novels. In 1960, Cone of Silence was made into a film starring Peter Cushing and George Sanders. He was on the staff of the College of Air Training, was an associate member of the British Airline Pilots' Association, and a Companion of the Royal Aeronautical Society.
