About this ebook
During WWII a British officer was sent to East Africa to align and coordinate with the native tribes a guerrilla campaign to attack and harass the Axis forces. In his possession were secret government documents outlining certain allegiances and a strongbox containing gold bullion to pay for those allegiances. Unfortunately the officer was captured by a group of Italian soldiers and killed; and the whereabouts of those documents and gold undetermined.
Now, 13 years later comes word that one of those Italians has turned up and is being held prisoner by an African warlord. A branch of the British Foreign Office is tasked to get their hands on that Italian and find the gold but more importantly the sensitive and compromising documents, and to do it they will send in Ian Metcalfe to make it happen.
Rogue's Gambit is a fast-moving novel of action and suspense, of strange and violent adventures in the post-war years, written by a veteran WWII British intelligence officer.
