The story opens in 1934 on the Spanish island of Ibiza. Following
an incident at a fiesta Verity, a young English lawyer, is listed
as a British spy by General Franco, the military governor of the
island. She escapes just in time to avoid arrest. Back in England,
she returns to work in her father's law firm but friendships made
in Spain begin to shape the course of her life. As the tumultuous
events in Barcelona build up to the outbreak of the Spanish Civil
War she is increasingly caught up in these events. As the Civil War
gathers pace and the chaos builds, it becomes apparent that only
she may be able to carry out a daring rescue mission. She finds
that she has to make a choice between staying at home in a safe job
or casting aside all conventions and being drawn into the shadowy
world of espionage. Can she both succeed and survive as a woman in
a man's world? The intricate threads of the story draw together a
group of diverse characters in London and Spain whose lives come
together in an explosive conclusion as Verity becomes the target
for sabotage and final betrayal in a battle whose outcome is far
from predictable.
