Washington Shadow The war is over. The game has begun... September 1945. Britain has won the war but faces bankruptcy. John Maynard Keynes leads a delegation to Washington to beg for a loan from the US. On his second mission, Peter Cotton finds himself caught up in a shadowy battle for peace and influence involving an extraordinarily attractive girl from the US State Department, a Soviet ex-tank commander claiming to be his opposite number, an African academic, a code-breaker called Tibbets, a boss with a very quick fuse... and an Anglo-American conspiracy that will shape the post-war world.
