A wonderful, intriguing book that is based on true events from WWII. This book revolves around the true events of the German Enigma code, U-boats in the Atlantic, and the Bletchley Park cryptographers. This is, however, a fictional story with themes of romance and treason. I've heard this author compared to John LeCarre, so if you like his books, you may also enjoy this one.
England 1943. Much of the infamous Nazi Enigma code has been cracked. But Shark, the impenetrable cipher used by Nazi U-boats, has masked the Germans' movements, allowing them to destroy Allied vessels. Now a top-secret team of British cryptographers works feverishly around the clock to break Shark. And when brilliant mathematician Tom Jericho succeeds, it is the stuff of legend.
Until the unthinkable happens: the Germans change the code. As an Allied convoy crosses the U-boat-infested North Atlantic...as Jericho's ex-lover disappears amid accusations that she is a Nazi collaborator...as Jericho strains his last resources to break Shark again, he cannot escape the ultimate truth: There is a traitor among them.
