March 1943, the war hangs in the balance, and at Bletchley Park a brilliant young codebreaker is facing a double nightmare. The Germans have unaccountably changed their U-boat Enigma code, threatening a massive Allied defeat. And as suspicion grows that there may be a spy inside Bletchley, Jericho's girlfriend, the beautiful and mysterious Claire Romilly suddenly disappears.

Editorial Reviews

"Enigma totally gripped me" - Sunday Times

"After the resounding success of his first novel, Fatherland, the question was what would Robert Harris do for an encore? This is his resounding answer" - Mail on Sunday

"Extraordinarily good... undoubtedly the best thriller of the year, and perhaps of several years to come" - Evening Standard

"I finished the book regretful it had ended, and full of wonder at this extraordinary world, people and achievements it evoked" - Observer

"The brilliance of Enigma is that it gives readers the sense of being contemporary with its characters and then leads them on a dark journey of discovery to arrive at another of the Second World War's blackest horror stories, one not fully admitted until half a century later... Altogether top-class stuff" - The Times

"Blends carefully researched fact with brilliantly realised fiction... a compulsive page turner until its surprising secrets are finally decrypted" - Daily Mail

"A first class plot... the characters steadily evolve and deepen. Out of wartime Cambridge and Bletchley lurches the computer age" - Daily Telegraph
