Hardcover. Ashland, or: Blackstone Publishing. https://www.blackstonepublishing.com. ISBN 978-1-66504-707-4. 2022. 323 pages. $26.99

 

Notes

1 This use of UKW A by Lovett is curious because the enciphered message at the heart of the story was supposedly written in 1945, 8 years after the UKW A was replaced by the UKW B as the standard reflector on German Army, Navy, and Air Force Enigma machines.
