ENIGMA
By Robert Harris Author of Fatherland 'Let me get this straight,' said the admiral. 'You're telling us one million tons of shipping - Merchant shipping.' '-merchant shipping, pardon me, one million tons of merchant shipping, with ten thousand people on board, is steaming towards forty six U-boats, and you have no idea where those U-boats are?" 'I'm afraid I am, yes . . . ' It is March 1943 and inside Britain's codebreaking centre, Bletchley Park, the cryptanalysts are facing their worst nightmare: Nazi Germany's U-boats have unexpectedly changed their Enigma cipher and the Battle of the Atlantic suddenly hangs in the balance. In a desperate attempt to save the situation, the authorities turn for help to Tom Jericho, a brlliant young mathematician and codebreaker, presently on sick leave in Cambridge. What follows is a frantic race to crack the U-boat code. But, unknown to his colleagues, Jericho also has another equally baffling enigma of his own to unravel: the woman he loves has disappeared and he suspects there may be a spy in Bletchley . . . Steeped in the atmosphere of wartime England, based around an actual event, Enigma is a thriller of genius: a compelling mystery of codes and codebreaking, love and betrayal set inside the birthplace of the secret state.
