The Lipetsk Conspiracy: William Fernie’s Historical Spy Thriller, Out Now
William Fernie’s The Lipetsk Conspiracy is out now. It is the fourth book in the Tom Munro Aviation and Espionage Series, and each book can be read on its own.
Hitler’s air force was banned by treaty. Germany built it anyway — in secret, on Russian soil.
About the book
Berlin, 1926. Captain Tom Munro flies passenger routes for a German airline — and quietly reports what he sees to British intelligence. Deep in the forests of Soviet Russia, German engineers are testing the warplanes the Treaty of Versailles swore would never exist. Munro means to prove it.
But the only way to expose the secret base at Lipetsk is to get inside it. There, he flies as a test pilot for men who would shoot him as a spy — and the only way out is to fly through everything they send after him.
He went looking for the truth about the next war. Now he has to live long enough to bring it home.
For readers of David Downing, Philip Kerr and Robert Harris.
Though this book is part of a series, each book can be read as a standalone.
