● 內文簡介

In the City of Spies no-one is who they claim to be…

After escaping from Nazi-occupied France, Special Operations Executive agent Elizabeth de Mornay, codename Cecile, receives new orders: she must infiltrate high society in Lisbon and find out who is leaking key information to the Germans about British troop movements. As Solange Verin, a French widow of independent means, she will be able to meet all the rich Europeans who have gathered in the city to wait out the war. One of them is a traitor and she must find out who before more British servicemen die.

But when Solange comes to the attention of a German Abwehr officer, Major Eduard Graf, serious complications arise. As they get to know each other she struggles to keep her lies close to the truth. But in this city filled with spies, how can she tell who is friend or foe?

 

● 作者簡介

Mara Timon was raised in New York and moved to the UK almost 20 years ago; and fell in love with London and the way it melds the old and the new. Growing up with one parent fascinated with literature and the other with history, she started writing from an early age, although it wasn’t until a programme on the BBC caught her interest, and one ‘what if’ led to another, and another, that her first book began to take shape.
