Summary

March 1943, the war hangs in the balance, and at Bletchley Park Tom Jericho, 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.

Critics Review

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. Peter Millar * The Times *
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 *
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 *
