The Prague Wireless Heist

About this book:

Prague, 1922. The Great War is over, but the ether is alive with treason.

When Chief Telegraph Engineer Jan Vondra intercepts an impossible signal on a forbidden frequency—a machine-gun burst of code so powerful it vibrates the fillings in his teeth—he traces its source to the woods of Petřín Hill. There, buried beneath the Hunger Wall, he discovers a clandestine station tapping the city's own power grid to blast state secrets across the continent. The message bears the routing headers of the Presidential Castle. The answering station flies a British naval callsign. And the men operating it are willing to burn the evidence—and anyone who finds it—with industrial acid.

Armed with a wartime revolver, a stolen direction-finder, and a nineteen-year-old assistant who hears too well, Jan descends into a labyrinth of diplomatic betrayal, royalist conspiracies, and invisible warfare waged on wavelengths no civilian dares monitor. From the marble halls of the Ministry to the frozen orchards above the Vltava, *The Prague Wireless Heist* is a gripping historical thriller where the frontier between loyalty and treason is measured in volts, and the fate of a newborn republic rides on a single, perfect frequency.
