This 6th book in the Hambledon series was set towards the end of WW2 and involved a Nazi network inside England. In this one, Hambledon mostly provided an opportunity for the 'fifth man' to tell his own adventure.
A man who is one of a group of English prisoners of war sent to England to spy for Germany gets in touch with Hambledon.
