Book description
It is March 1938. Hitler has marched into Vienna to a triumphant
reception, but the 180,000 Jews living in the city fear the future.
Katharine Simmons, an undercover SIS agent working at the British
Passport Office, is distraught when her husband, also an undercover
agent, is taken from their home and disappears without trace. Left
alone in Vienna, Katharine's secret work prevents her from returning
home, but the noose is tightening around the SIS operatives as a
suspected double agent is betraying them. Can the love of a mystery
man save Katharine from the Gestapo? Who is her secret betrayer? And
what is the past that haunts her? In this extraordinary debut novel,
love, honour and power compete against a backdrop of the growing
tensions of 1930s Vienna.
