About the Books
Eye of the Needle opens in 1944 as the Allies disguise their true D-Day invasion plans with elaborate decoy ships and planes, hoping to catch Nazi Germany off guard. Standing in their way is a cold-blooded German operative known only as The Needle, whose stiletto and cunning have made him Hitler's most prized agent, until a lonely Englishwoman on an isolated island becomes the last line of defense. The Key to Rebecca shifts to 1942 Cairo, where a Nazi spy codenamed the Sphinx, Alex Wolff, arrives after a brutal trek across the Sahara carrying a copy of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca as his key to a devastating cipher. As Wolff feeds intelligence to Rommel's forces, British agents race through Cairo's crowded streets to unmask him before the desert war is lost. Triple moves to 1968, when Israeli intelligence learns that Egypt is only months from developing nuclear weapons. With the fledgling nation's survival at stake, a covert operation is launched to intercept a shipment of uranium before it can be weaponized. Together, these three standalone novels showcase Follett's gift for grounding high-stakes global conflict in intensely personal drama, blending meticulous historical detail with the propulsive pacing of classic thriller fiction.
