They left half an hour later and paused by the Daimler. “God, you were a bastard back there,” Hannah said to Dillon.

“He certainly was,” Ferguson said, “but it worked.”

“It was all those years ago, but the SS training never goes away,” Dillon said. “The shouted command, the harsh voice, and the response is a reflex.”

“Anyway, now we know where Max von Berger’s millions came from,” Ferguson said.

“And can’t do a thing about it,” Hannah said.

“We’re also in possession of the uncomfortable fact that in 1945, Hitler made a peace overture to Roosevelt and Roosevelt took it seriously enough to send Jake Cazalet’s father to Sweden to discuss it with Hitler’s representative,” Ferguson said.

“But, sir, if nothing came of it, does it matter?” Hannah said.

“Oh yes, my dear, it most certainly does. And the involvement of the President’s father makes it worse. The media would have a field day. Roosevelt, Cazalet and Hitler.” He shook his head. “It could do the President great harm.”

“And, at the worst, finish him,” Dillon said.

“Yes. Come on. Let’s go see von Berger.”

“I’m your man,” said Dillon, and hurried to his car.

As the Daimler drove away, Hannah said to Ferguson, “I hope the old lady will be all right, sir.”

“Yes, I’m sorry about that, but it had to be done.”

“What do you intend to say to the Baron?”

Ferguson smiled. “I haven’t the slightest idea, Superintendent.”

Newton and Cook let them leave and then followed. Twenty minutes later, Newton called. “We’re just passing the Dorchester. They’re turning into South Audley Street.”

“Fine. Hang around, in case I need you.”

Rossi switched off his phone and turned. “It would seem they intend to pay us a visit.”

Max von Berger smiled. “Well, that should be interesting.”
