A captivating Cold War page-turner. -- Real Simple The New York
Times bestselling author of The Summer Wives returns with a
gripping and profoundly human story of Cold War espionage and
family devotion. In the autumn of 1948, Iris Digby vanishes from
her London home with her American diplomat husband and their two
children. The world is shocked by the family's sensational
disappearance. Were they eliminated by the Soviet intelligence
service? Or have the Digbys defected to Moscow with a trove of the
West's most vital secrets? Four years later, Ruth Macallister
receives a postcard from the twin sister she hasn't seen since
their catastrophic parting in Rome in the summer of 1940, as war
engulfed the continent and Iris fell desperately in love with an
enigmatic United States Embassy official named Sasha Digby. Within
days, Ruth is on her way to Moscow, posing as the wife of
counterintelligence agent Sumner Fox in a precarious plot to
extract the Digbys from behind the Iron Curtain. But the complex
truth behind Iris's marriage defies Ruth's understanding, and as
the sisters race toward safety, a dogged Soviet KGB officer forces
them to make a heartbreaking choice between two irreconcilable
loyalties.
