What this book is about
Ken Follett's WWII thriller set in occupied Denmark: Harald Olufsen accidentally photographs a top-secret German radar installation and must somehow get the photographs to Britain. Meanwhile, a Danish detective works for the Nazis to root out resistance members. Follett's Danish occupation thriller has the same propulsive quality as Eye of the Needle in a different national setting.
