The fifth novel in Anne Perry's breathtakingly tense and exciting
spy thriller series, featuring young British photographer and
secret agent Elena Standish, set in the 1930s when the world was a
place of increasing fear and uncertainty... As Hitler's influence
spreads across Europe, the future of Britain is at stake... It is
late summer 1934 when retired MI6 agent John Repton's body is found
near Wyndham Hall in the Cotswolds. Repton was killed while
investigating the Wyndham family's ties to fascist sympathisers,
and Elena Standish is assigned to discover if one of them resorted
to murder . . . Meanwhile, Elena's sister Margot is courting Lady
Wyndham's brother and, unaware that Elena is a spy, Margot invites
her to attend a house party at Wyndham Hall along with her
colleague James Allenby, who masquerades as her suitor. As the
atmosphere becomes increasingly tense, Elena and Allenby begin to
expose the allegiances of the people in the house. But Elena is
torn, for she knows that revealing the truth will protect the
nation's security but could potentially destroy her sister's
happiness . . .
