To Catch a King

By Harry Patterson (Jack Higgins)

Synopsis

In July 1940
Walter Schellenberg, SS Brigadeführer and major-general of police, was ordered by Hitler to proceed to Lisbon to kidnap the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, then staying in a villa at Estoril after fleeing the German occupation of France. This story is an attempt to recreate the events surrounding that astonishing episode. Although certain sections must obviously be a matter of conjecture, a considerable amount is documented historical fact and the person who emerges from the whole bizarre affair with most credit is the Duke of Windsor himself.
