The eve of war. Two spies, one mission, divided loyalties – and everything to lose.
When Anna marches into a hotel in the Austrian Alps and shoots a member of the waiting staff, Karl sees what few in his position would: an opportunity. It’s insights like this that make the German Secret Service keen to keep him on their payroll, and the British Secret Service keen to keep him on theirs too.Recruited as a ‘field agent’, Anna soon finds herself stationed as nanny to a British family with ties to the Nazi Party, helping Karl root out a counterpart double agent feeding secrets the other way. If they fail, the war could be lost before it begins.
But Karl and Anna have their own agendas: Karl hunts the Nazi officer he watched murder his mother years ago, while Anna knows a family in London is raising the child she was forced to surrender. What follows is a masterful tale of revenge, betrayal and impossible choices, in which two broken lives may end up changing the course of history.
