The Secret War: Dennis Wheatley

1936 - As Mussolini's troops invade Abyssinia the international situation deteriorates and the armaments kings look forward to even fatter profits. No-one, it seems, can halt the carnage. Except - perhaps - the Millers of God, a group of wealthy individuals dedicated to the systematic execution of all those who feed off human suffering. Sir Anthony Lovelace doesn't approve of their methods. But when Christopher Penn and his fiancee call on his friendship, he too finds himself in the desperate gamble for the cause of peace.
