Will she find the truth?

England, 1940

When a cryptographer is murdered, Thomas Charles is sent on a secret mission to uncover the killer – and it’s the perfect opportunity to rekindle his romance with Cat Carlisle, the woman who helped uncover a double agent and solve her own husband’s murder.

The victim’s niece – and the police’s top suspect – is Cat’s childhood friend and she begs Cat for help. Soon Cat discovers a scheme of deception that spreads far and wide. Someone is working with the Nazis, and Thomas and Cat are determined to find out who it is. Can they solve the murder and expose the enemy hiding in plain sight?
