Synopsis

A Love Reading Book of the Month
'Mark Ezra's impressive debut creatively mixes biblical themes with echoes of Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club... but is very much its own work' Financial Times
'It's a well-written book. Punchy throughout' Spectator
'Compelling and engaging' Julian Fellowes
'...distinct echoes of the classy Agatha Christie espionage novels' Peter James
'Anyone who enjoys Richard Osman and Mick Herron will love this taut, atmospheric spy thriller.' Charles Cumming
When retired former spy Felicity Jardine's mission to drown herself is interrupted by a baby drifting down river, her training kicks in at once. She manages to save the baby, and conceals them both from the shady-looking man who is searching for it.
Then an elderly neighbour to whom she bears a resemblance is found dead, and Felicity knows she's been rumbled. She has to dust off the highly trained and resourceful secret service officer she used to be, ensure the safety of the baby, and re-enter the fray.
She can count on the help of two former MI6 colleagues to identify the murderer and find out exactly what's going on. But Felicity will soon realise that her work in 1970s Germany and her present are entangled – and she will have to face some hard truths before she can confront the demons of her past.
'Quirky and inventive. Splendid stuff!' Luke Jennings, author of Killing Eve
'A hugely entertaining spy thriller. Pacey and laced with dark humour' Emma Curtis

    Touch is sensational suspense from the master of crime fiction, New York Times bestselling author Elmore Leonard.  
    A Michigan woman was blind and now she can see, after being touched by a young man who calls himself Juvenal. Maybe it was just coincidence, but Bill Hill—who used to run the spectacular Uni-Faith Ministry in Dalton, Georgia, and now sells RVs—can see dollar signs when he looks at this kid with the magic “touch.” 
    The trouble is that others see them also, including a wacko fundamentalist fascist with his own private army of the faithful and an assortment of media leeches. But everyone who’s looking to put the touch on the healer is in for a big surprise—because Juvenal’s got a trick or two up his sleeve that nobody sees coming.

    Her voice enchants crowds. Her secrets will expose conspiracies. One mistake could cost her everything. 
      
    December 1941: As bombs fall on Pearl Harbor, singer Hattie James faces a personal nightmare when her sister Olivia vanishes. The kidnappers demand an impossible price—her father's classified list of undercover American and Nazi spies. 
      
    Wartime paranoia and family loyalty take Hattie to Washington, D.C., with Maya and Commander Leo Bell to hunt an elusive, high-ranking mole in the War Department who is after those lists. Leo, a military intelligence officer with access to classified operations, becomes their crucial inside man, navigating the treacherous corridors of power. Meanwhile in Rio de Janeiro, Hattie’s father Karl slowly recovers from near-fatal wounds under her mother's watchful care as Nazi agents close in on his location. 
      
    As war declarations echo across radio waves, these fragile alliances become Hattie's only hope of untangling a conspiracy that threatens both nations. As Hattie inches closer to the truth, she discovers that exposing the traitor might save her sister—or destroy them both. 
      
    An enthralling wartime thriller, perfect for fans of Julia Kelly and Kristin Harmel.
