Kate Murray is deeply troubled. In front of her lies a dead man, a stranger who only minutes before had spoken to her - about a mystery, a long-forgotten murder and, most worryingly, her grandmother. His story was old, he had told her, but still deserving of justice. Soon Kate is caught up in a dangerous whirlwind of events that takes her back into her grandmother's mysterious war-time past and across the Atlantic as she tries to retrace the dead man's footsteps. Finding out the truth is not so simple, however, as only a few people are still alive who know the story...and Kate soon realises that her questions are putting their lives in danger. Stalked by an unknown and sinister enemy, she must use her tough journalistic instinct to find the answers from the past in order to have a future.
'An entertaining read with lively characterisation, an attractively unassuming Second World War spy and neat plotting' Susanna Yager, Sunday Telegraph 'A nice example of the 'woman in peril' sub-category of crime fiction... An enjoyable...hide-and-seek thriller' Jessica Mann, Literary Review
