The new Edward Trapp adventure - 1943. World War Two. A Russian convoy fights its violent, wreckage-strewn course across the Arctic Circle towards Murmansk. Only one ship survives the coffin

in the captains pursuit of ignominy and golden cargo, to the enduring embarrassment of the British and United States Navies . . .
