Book description
From the No. 1 internationally bestselling author comes the third
heart-stopping adventure exploring the incredible history, legends and
hidden secrets of Carcassonne and the Languedoc.
Set during World War II in the far south of France, CITADEL is a
powerful, action-packed mystery that reveals the secrets of the
resistance under Nazi occupation. While war blazed in the trenches at
the front, back at home a different battle is waged, full of clandestine
bravery, treachery and secrets. And as a cell of resistance fighters,
codenamed Citadelle, fight for everything they hold dear, their struggle
will reveal an older, darker combat being fought in the shadows.
Combining the rugged action of LABYRINTH with the haunting mystery of
SEPULCHRE, CITADEL is a story of daring and courage, of lives risked for
beliefs and of astonishing secrets buried in time. Kate Mosse is the
author of two non-fiction books, two plays and five novels, including
the multi-million selling international No 1 bestseller, LABYRINTH. The
first of her Languedoc Trilogy, it was translated into 37 languages and
published in 40 countries. The second in the series, SEPULCHRE, was also
a No. 1 bestseller, as was THE WINTER GHOSTS. The Co-Founder and
Honorary Director of the Orange Prize for Fiction, she is on the board
of the National Theatre and is Co-Director of the Chichester Writing
Festival with her husband, author and translator, Greg Mosse.
