New York Times bestselling author Anne Perry brings us an exciting
new thriller of espionage and murder set across Europe in the
1930s. The world is on the brink of war and no one is to be trusted
as young photographer Elena Standish becomes embroiled in a
terrifying game of cat and mouse... It is 1933 and Europe is a
place of increasing fear and violence. Young British photographer
Elena Standish is on assignment in Amalfi when she meets Ian
Newton, a charming Englishman with whom she falls in love. But what
does she really know about him? Accompanying him on a train across
Italy to Paris, she finds him critically stabbed and dying. He
tells her he is a member of Britain's Secret Service, on his way to
Berlin to warn MI6 so that they can foil a plot to assassinate one
of Hitler's vilest henchmen and blame Britain for it, thus causing
a devastating diplomatic crisis. Elena promises to deliver the
message. But she is too late, and finds herself fleeing for her
life. Meanwhile Lucas Standish, secret head of MI6 during the war,
learns that his beloved granddaughter is being hunted in Berlin for
murder. With Elena on the run, and at least one traitor in the
British Embassy, it is impossible to know who to trust... Praise
for Anne Perry's previous novels: 'A brilliant Victorian police
procedural in which well-realized characters and settings are
fascinating in themselves' Booklist 'Engrossing... Perry has always
excelled in courtroom scenes and arguments between barristers, and
she outdoes herself in two dramatic trials'Washington Times Daily
'Perry balances plot and character neatly before providing a
resolution that few will anticipate'Publishers Weekly
