Synopsis

'With vivid characterisation and a keen ear for dialogue, Christina Koning has all the qualities of a first-class mystery writer.' - DAILY MAIL
First published as Twist of Fate under A. C. Koning.
Summer, 1937. Frederick Rowlands' peaceful holiday in Cornwall is derailed when a film star is found dead in his hotel.
The suspicious nature of Dolores La Mar's death points to murder and Rowlands soon finds himself caught up in the police investigation. When his old flame, Secret Service agent Iris Barnes arrives, it transpires that the killing has links to the political turmoil of the Spanish Civil War. Rowlands and Barnes begin to follow a treacherous trail of Republican revolutionaries which leads them to the dark streets of Barcelona, where they discover that their Cornish murder is more connected to the city than either of them realised. As Europe inches closer towards international conflict, will Rowlands and Barnes make it out of Spain alive?

As Fredrick steps deeper into this murky game of power and betrayal, each decision propels him further into a labyrinth where trust is scarce, and the stakes rise with every whispered secret.
