Description
From one of the great storytellers of our time, an exquisite spy novel—a disarming and memorable caper, in which not everything is quite as it seems.
At first, I took you for a charming jewel thief.
London, 1938. After attending a music hall matinee, Richard Hadley has an unexpected encounter with the mysterious Miss Lambert. Over a shared love of singing, a strange connection is forged.
But when he follows her to a secretive conference at Marlborough House in Devon, Miss Lambert warns him that she's on the brink of an important breakthrough and that he, understanding nothing, must not get in her way.
As an old school friend, a Tory ex-Minister, and an assortment of strangers on a train cross his path, it could be that Richard finds himself at the heart of something momentous, if only he can piece together what is going on.
