"Early in 1945, Navy Lieutenant Kenji Minato is in internment in San Diego as a Japanese spy. When his offer to spy for US Intelligence is accepted, he asks that an old school friend, Corporal Tom Okada, be his control. In Tokyo their mission is to identify members of a Peace Faction in Japan and estimate its strength. Natasha Cairns, mixed-blood widow of an English agent, becomes their wireless operator."
