Amanda Davidson's marriage to Carl Himmler, a handsome and dynamic young businessman from Hamburg, is a huge success. Notwithstanding his 'profession' as a manufacturer of heavy armaments, Carl's nature and philosophy of life bear little resemblance to his historical name's sake Heinrich Himmler - that loathsome Third Reich director of the death camps. For twelve happy years, Amanda looks after her two loving children and her thriving Knightsbridge boutique while calming her ever-watchful Jewish father across The Pond in New York. When a serious threat to Carl and the whole family presents itself, and Heads of State, police and secret services face a dilemma, fraught with danger, everyone's skills are put to the test. Yet the world is hardly finished with Amanda who endures an outrageous attack upon her by a late addition to the family - a deviant son called Peter. When her extraordinary strength of character and will to recover manifests itself, her elder son Adam publishes his 'close to home' novel and presents her with a signed copy at a special party in her honour... A happy ending to a family affair involving change of identity and nail-biting drama.
