This is a really good, fast paced, twisty turning spy thriller. You’re not sure who to trust from page. What makes it particularly good is that the main spy is a female which I liked as it meant that it was presented from a different perspective to other spy novels. I’m hoping our leading lady returns for some more missions...
The book is set primarily in neutral Lisbon in 1943 whilst the second world war rages around them in Europe. Elisabeth de Mornay has had to escape Paris and ultimately France as she is pursued by the Gestapo. When she arrives in Lisbon she is quickly setup with a new identify and cover story to infiltrate a German spy ring that is targeting and killing British Servicemen. However, in a city that is neutral it is difficult to know who to trust especially with a German officer and the Portuguese police watching her every move. Who can she trust..?
