Legs of the Spider

Berlin 1944: as the Allied bombs fall on his beloved city, Major Bernhard Rupp activates his plan for personal survival. He has carefully chosen eight accomplices. Trading on their loyalty, weakness and greed he has meticulously constructed his eight legs. Eight legs that are designed to carry the Spider to safety and wealth.

The money making web he has created stretches from Spain to Turkey and from Sweden to Switzerland. Caught up in it are the Vatican, an art dealer, a corporate giant, and British Intelligence.

But the strands of that web begin to warp and break as both the SS and an American assassin threaten to unravel everything that Rupp has put in place.

Legs of the Spider is a complex story of deceit and bluff set in the embers of a war ravaged Europe where no one is safe.
