Double Agent Snow
The eve of the outbreak of World War 2: double-agent Arthur Owens, codenamed SNOW, is summoned to Berlin and appointed Hitler's chief spy in England. Days later he finds himself in Wandsworth prison, betrayed by his scorned wife, forced to transmit false wireless messages from MI5 to earn his freedom and escape the hangman's noose. A vain and devious anti-hero with no moral compass, Owen's motives for treachery were money, status and women. At times he posed as a true patriot, at others Owens saw himself as a daring rogue agent, outwitting British Intelligence and loyal only to the Fatherland. Yet in 1944, as Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, Hitler was caught unawares by a strategic deception played out by the double-cross agents who followed Owens at MI5.
For all his flaws, Agent Snow became the traitor who saved his country. Based on recently declassified MI5 files and previously unpublished sources, Double Agent Snow is the remakable story of a secret battle of Britain, fought by Snow and his opposing spymasters. James Hayward weaves together a thrilling and evocative account populated by a colourful rogue's gallery of double-cross agencts.
