"The reigning queen of historical fiction" -- Fiona Davis, New York
Times bestselling author of The Lions of Fifth Avenue The New York
Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Huntress and The
Alice Network returns with another heart-stopping World War II
story of three female code breakers at Bletchley Park and the spy
they must root out after the war is over. 1940. As England prepares
to fight the Nazis, three very different women answer the call to
mysterious country estate Bletchley Park, where the best minds in
Britain train to break German military codes. Vivacious debutante
Osla is the girl who has everything--beauty, wealth, and the
dashing Prince Philip of Greece sending her roses--but she burns to
prove herself as more than a society girl, and puts her fluent
German to use as a translator of decoded enemy secrets. Imperious
self-made Mab, product of east-end London poverty, works the
legendary codebreaking machines as she conceals old wounds and
looks for a socially advantageous husband. Both Osla and Mab are
quick to see the potential in local village spinster Beth, whose
shyness conceals a brilliant facility with puzzles, and soon Beth
spreads her wings as one of the Park's few female cryptanalysts.
But war, loss, and the impossible pressure of secrecy will tear the
three apart. 1947. As the royal wedding of Princess Elizabeth and
Prince Philip whips post-war Britain into a fever, three
friends-turned-enemies are reunited by a mysterious encrypted
letter--the key to which lies buried in the long-ago betrayal that
destroyed their friendship and left one of them confined to an
asylum. A mysterious traitor has emerged from the shadows of their
Bletchley Park past, and now Osla, Mab, and Beth must resurrect
their old alliance and crack one last code together. But each petal
they remove from the rose code brings danger--and their true
enemy--closer...
