Set against the tumultuous backdrop of the years leading up to World War I, Double Traitor immerses listeners in a world where Germany is boldly preparing for conflict while Britain clings to its belief in invincibility. A vast network of German spies operates covertly in England, often right under the noses of the unsuspecting. The story follows Francis Norgate, an aspiring British diplomat whose principled defense of a woman in Berlin leads to his disgrace and recall. During his journey home, he encounters Selingman, a charming German gentleman who presents himself as a humble crockery salesman. But beneath this facade lies a darker truth. Disillusioned by the failings of the English government, Norgate finds himself seduced into Selingmans web of intrigue and deception.
