In the nervous days before the Second World War, we follow Eva
Bernhardt, who is brought into the world of espionage after being
seduced by an MI6 agent. The authorities are keen to find out what
Hitler's first threatening moves towards France will be, and Eva
discovers a key piece of information. Fleeing in great danger from
the Germans, she finds herself in that familiar morass of the spy
world: whom can she trust? And will she survive with the vital
information that may change the course of the entire war? A
Gathering of Spies was a remarkable debut, and demonstrated the
author's total assurance in the genre. If this successor is not
quite as exuberantly told, it's still a fast-moving and exciting
piece of work with some adroitly orchestrated set-pieces and a
strongly drawn heroine in Eva Bernhardt. (Kirkus UK)
'If there are thriller writers better than this, I'd like to know
who they are.' Jack Higgins It is February 1940, and England is
desperate to find out when and how Hitler will make his move west
toward France. Eva Bernhardt, a young sleeper agent in Berlin who
has been seduced into spying by a roguish MI6 agent, receives a
vital piece of information and makes a run for it. But the Germans
are on to her fast - too fast. In a lethal game of ruse and
counter-ruse, the British and Germans engage in an intelligence
war. Uncertain whom to trust, Eva must take her future into her own
hands - and with it, perhaps, the future of the entire war. A book
to devour at one sitting, with dazzling set pieces, unpredictable
twists and unforgettable characters.
