The countdown to invasion begins...

It's September 1940, and British intelligence is desperately worried: the Nazi invasion of Britain is imminent.

A sinister organisation called The Group, a collection of British and Irish Nazi collaborators, is at work trying to support Hitler's plans...

But that is not the only concern for the spy chiefs: the search for double agent 'Archie' – the Soviet spy and British traitor – is proving fruitless, and now they know there’s a second traitor, Bertie, also in play.

Will they be able to foil the invasion plans without their schemes being leaked to the enemy?

Taking the reader from wartime London to the south coast of England, from Berlin to neutral Ireland and from the German intelligence headquarters in Hamburg to the port of Rotterdam, The Second Traitor is the second novel in Alex Gerlis’s highly acclaimed Double Agent series, a follow-up to Every Spy a Traitor.©2025 Alex Gerlis (P)2025 W.

The Second Traitor is a well crafted WW2 spy novel, following on from the first novel in the Double Agent series. The writing is excellent, with engaging characters, and the plot is fun yet believable. Credit has to be given to the narration, which is brilliant for the story. I really enjoy these types of story set in the 1930s and 1940s, such historical decades. Thoroughly recommend.

Great story, great narration

Really enjoyed this book, particularly because of the most excellent narration. The plot was great, at times quite complicated which forced me to listen harder or re-wind. I liked that it had no specific hero. Really fun and well produced

This book is a lot of fun and is brilliantly narrated. It's so refreshing to have a narrator who understands that Germans who are meant to be speaking in German don't need to have an accent for me to understand the context, rather than having all the Germans weirdly speaking English to each other in German accents, which I find so distracting in other books. The narrator manages to switch seamlessly between perspectives so I understand perfectly at all times where we are and who is speaking. So many lovingly and joyfully portrayed characters both new and returning; a really great listen
