One of ‘the heirs to John le Carré’ The Times ‘A tremendous
achievement’ WILLIAM BOYD ‘Behold the new Golden Age of Spy
Kings’ Sunday Times To betray, you must first belong… In June
1934, Kim Philby met his Soviet handler, the spy Arnold Deutsch.
The woman who introduced them was called Edith Tudor-Hart. She
changed the course of 20th century history. Then she was written
out of it. Drawing on the Secret Intelligence Files on Edith
Tudor-Hart, along with the private archive letters of Kim Philby,
this finely worked, evocative and beautifully tense novel – by
the granddaughter of Kim Philby – tells the story of the woman
behind the Third Man. A future classic: ‘A fine achievement’
THE TIMES ‘Completely fascinating. A sophisticated and
brilliantly constructed fictional retelling of a crucial
relationship in 20th century espionage history. A tremendous
achievement’ WILLIAM BOYD ‘Atmospheric and rigorously
researched’ Sunday Times ‘Persuasive… involving…
impressive’ LITERARY REVIEW ‘A fascinating contribution to the
literature of the Cambridge spies by a clever, nimble writer with
some genuine skin in the game’ CHARLES CUMMING ‘Complex and
powerfully written… a persuasive repurposing of the lives of
real-life figures’ i NEWSPAPER ‘A dextrous writer who gives her
tale a quickening, thrillerish propulsion’ NEW STATESMAN
‘Mother, lover, revolutionary, spy… Philby’s stunning fourth
novel thrusts this former bit-player in the Cambridge Spy scandal
to the centre stage where she belongs… Her best book yet’ ERIN
KELLY ‘Blending SIS files and imagined letters from her
grandfather, Philby shines a spotlight on Edith Tudor-Hart as
activist, spy and often desperate single, working mother’ SARAH
VAUGHAN ‘Completely absorbing’ MICK HERRON ‘A tense and
brilliantly structured story of power and intrigue’ JANE SHEMILT
‘Unforgettable… a fascinating exploration of a key moment in
history and a stunning piece of fiction’ HOLLY WATT
