The Trojan Horse by Hammond Innes

The Trojan Horse by Hammond Innes

Andrew Kilmartin was a quietly respectable lawyer working in the City of London. Until the day a wanted killer forced a way into his office. Against all the odds, Kilmartin believed that Franz Schmidt was innocent. But it was a belief that would endanger not only his own life, but also that of Schmidt’s beautiful daughter, Freya – now guardian of her father’s latest, and most revolutionary invention. Because there were some who would commit any crime to ensure that they alone held the key to all of Schmidt’s secrets…
