A brisk, action-packed spy mystery unfolds against the backdrop of World War I, from the author of the acclaimed Jack Haldean mystery series.
In this “exciting spy thriller full of period charm,” Dr. Anthony Brooke has abandoned his medical career to spy for the British Crown (Kirkus Reviews). But he has reason to believe his latest mission has been compromised. In a hotel in Kiel, Germany, a colleague’s dying words are, “There’s a spy in England. Frankie’s letter. Read Frankie’s letter . . .” But Anthony hasn’t a clue who Frankie might be. With his cover blown and the German army at his heels, Anthony’s search to discover the truth leads him to an innocent-seeming country house. Here, deep within the English countryside, as Anthony uncovers a web of spies, treachery, and terrorists, the war becomes close and very personal.
