'Master of the wartime spy thriller' - FINANCIAL TIMES In the
gripping new spy thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author
of Hitler's Secret, a Cambridge spy must unravel a dangerous
mystery that goes all the way to the heart of the Third Reich - and
the British Monarchy. ________________ Sweden, 1942 - Two old
friends meet. They are cousins. One is Prince George, Duke of Kent,
brother of the King of England. The other is Prince Philipp von
Hessen, a committed Nazi and close friend of Adolf Hitler. Days
later, the Prince George is killed in a plane crash in the north of
Scotland. The official story is that it was an accident - but not
everyone is convinced. There is even a suggestion that the Duke's
plane was sabotaged, but with no evidence, Cambridge spy Tom Wilde
is sent north to discover the truth . . . Dramatic, intelligent,
and brilliantly compelling, A PRINCE AND A SPY is Rory's best WWII
thriller yet - perfect for readers of Robert Harris, C J Sansom and
Joseph Kanon. _____________________________ Praise for Rory

- The Times 'A standout historical novel and spy thriller' - Daily
Express 'Enjoyable, bloody and brutish' - Guardian 'A dramatic,
twisty thriller' - Daily Mail 'A colourful history lesson . . .
exciting narrative twists' - Sunday Telegraph
London. 1945. The capital is shrouded in the darkness of the
blackout, and mystery abounds in the parks after dusk. During a
stroll through Regent's Park, Bruce Mallaig witnesses two men
acting suspiciously around a footbridge. In a matter of moments,
one of them has been murdered; Mallaig's view of the assailant but
a brief glimpse of a ghastly face in the glow of a struck match.
The murderer's noiseless approach and escape seems to defy all
logic, and even the victim's identity is quickly thrown into
uncertainty. Lorac's shrewd yet personable C.I.D. man MacDonald
must set to work once again to unravel this near-impossible
mystery.

An enchanting novel about fate, second chances, and hope, lost and
found, by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Last of the
Moon Girls. Soline Roussel is well schooled in the business of
happy endings. For generations her family has kept an exclusive
bridal salon in Paris, where magic is worked with needle and
thread. It's said that the bride who wears a Roussel gown is
guaranteed a lifetime of joy. But devastating losses during World
War II leave Soline's world and heart in ruins and her faith in
love shaken. She boxes up her memories, stowing them away, along
with her broken dreams, determined to forget. Decades later, while
coping with her own tragic loss, aspiring gallery owner Rory Grant
leases Soline's old property and discovers a box containing letters
and a vintage wedding dress, never worn. When Rory returns the
mementos, an unlikely friendship develops, and eerie parallels in
Rory's and Soline's lives begin to surface. It's clear that they
were destined to meet-and that Rory may hold the key to righting a
forty-year wrong and opening the door to shared healing and,
perhaps, a little magic.
