This WWI spy thriller "packed with adventure, action, and unforeseen twists" by the author of the Jack Haldean mysteries "will appeal to Ken Follett fans" ( Booklist). It's 1915, and Dr. Anthony Brooke has been called away from his medical practice to spy for the British Crown. But now it seems his mission has been compromised. In a hotel in Kiel, Germany, a colleague's dying words are, "There's a spy in England . . . Frankie's letter. Read Frankie's letter . . ." But Anthony hasn't a clue who Frankie might be. With his cover blown and the German army at his heels, Anthony's search for the truth leads him to a seemingly innocent estate in the English countryside. Here, in the home of a British publishing magnate and his beautiful French wife, Anthony uncovers a web of spies, treachery, and terrorists as the war gets closer—and becomes all too personal. "[An] exciting spy thriller full of period charm." — Kirkus Reviews "Dolores Gordon-Smith keeps her plot twisting and turning." —Historical Novel Society
