It is 1937, war is coming to Europe and French and German intelligence operatives are locked in a life-and-death struggle on the espionage battlefield. At the French embassy in Warsaw, Colonel Jean-Francois Mercier, a decorated war hero, is dawn into a world of abduction, betrayal and intrigue in the seedy black alleys of the city.

At the same time this handsome aristocrat is involved in a passionate love affair with a Parisian woman of Polish heritage, Anna Szarbeck. A lawyer for the League of Nations, Anna is also a mistress to Max Mostove, a Russian exile on the run from Comrade Stalin.

Into Mercier's life marches an extraordinary cast of characters with secrets to hide and information to trade. Edvard Uhl is a German engineer prepared to offer intelligence on German armaments and equipment; Malka and Viktor Rozen work for the Russian secret service; and Major Voss, head of German intelligence, seeks to crush the resistance at every turn.

But Warsaw is a place where brave souls continue to battle, in a large or small way, against the Nazi occupiers. A city where people drink and fight and spy and love, because no one knows what tomorrow will bring.
