Alec Wexford does not solve crimes.

He prevents history from being rewritten.

This is political espionage at its most dangerous — Britain in the 1930s, teetering between democracy and the rising shadow of fascism.

Volume 1 contains two full intelligence thrillers:

Story One — The London Protocol

A Foreign Office official drops dead mid-speech at a fascist rally — but it’s not the death that matters.

It’s the note he left behind.

“Library… forged texts… G.V. — Project HELIOS.”

Former MI6 operative Alec Wexford uncovers a secret network rewriting official British history before it happens — planting false archives, preparing fake policy records, and steering Britain towards a silent union with Berlin.

A conspiracy not of violence…

…but of memory.

Story Two — The Black Orchestra

Berlin sends its most celebrated symphony to London.

Half the orchestra are musicians.

The other half are assassins.

Their performance is not music — it’s execution by timing.

Wexford must decipher the pattern in their movements before they strike. And this time, he is one of the targets.

Tone & Style:

Atmospheric British intelligence thriller — elegant, cerebral, ruthless.

Think Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Munich: The Edge of War, The King’s Man — but even colder.
