The gripping spy thriller for fans of Robert Harris from Sunday
Times bestseller Rory Clements, author of the award-winning
NUCLEUS. ______________________________ 1936 - Europe is in
turmoil. The Nazis have marched into the Rhineland. In Russia,
Stalin has unleashed his Great Terror. Spain has erupted in civil
war. In Berlin, a young Englishwoman evades the Gestapo to deliver
vital papers to a Jewish scientist. Within weeks, she is found
dead, a silver syringe clutched in her fingers. In an exclusive
London club, a conspiracy is launched that threatens the very heart
of government. When a renowned society couple with fascist leanings
are found brutally murdered, a maverick Cambridge professor is
drawn into a world of espionage he knows only from history books.
The deeper Thomas Wilde delves, the more he finds to link the
murders with the girl with the silver syringe - and even more
worryingly to the scandal surrounding the Abdication . . . Set
against the gathering drumbeat of war and moving from Berlin to
Cambridge, from Whitehall to the Kent countryside, and from the
Fens to the Aragon Front in Spain, this sweeping international
thriller, like C J Sansom's WINTER IN MADRID, marks the beginning
of a brilliant new series for Rory Clements. What the critics are
saying about CORPUS: 'Dramatic . . . pacy and assured . . . Well
crafted, it has all the pleasures of an intriguing lead character,
intricate plot and fascinating historical context' Daily Mail 'Rory
Clements's timely spy thriller set in the 1930s evokes a period of
political polarisation, mistrust and simmering violence. Corpus is
fast-paced and there are plenty of red herrings to keep you
guessing. This is the first of a promising series and Wilde is a
likeable hero' The Times 'This clever novel, rich in deceptions and
intrigue, shows the reach of Stalin and Hitler into every class of
British society, threatening violence on horrific scale. Corpus is
a standout historical novel and spy thriller' Daily Express
