Someone in Germany is sending them messages in a code that hasn't been used since World War I.

A current critic mystery bookseller Barbara Peters of the Poisoned Pen called it her "favorite espionage novel of all time." This darkly humorous novel was the work of two Hampshire neighbors Adelaide Oke Manning and Cyril Henry Coles and based in part on the Coles' adventures in the British Intelligence. . First Edition.
