About this eBook

Kate Murray is deeply troubled. In front of her lies a dead man, a stranger who only minutes before had spoken to her - about a mystery, a long-forgotten murder and, most worryingly, her grandmother. His story was old, he had told her, but still deserving of justice.
Soon Kate is caught up in a dangerous whirlwind of events that takes her back into her grandmother's mysterious war-time past and across the Atlantic as she tries to retrace the dead man's footsteps. Finding out the truth is not so simple, however, as only a few people are still alive who know the story.and Kate soon realises that her questions are putting their lives in danger. Stalked by an unknown and sinister enemy, she must use her tough journalistic instinct to find the answers from the past in order to have a future.

Ratings and reviews

Are usually love her books, but try as I might, I could not connect with this one. The characters lacked any real depth , did something very unusual for me. I stopped reading about a quarter of the way through the book.

A delicious thriller. Couldn't put it down. I love the way she develops her characters because you can actually see them. So real you're there! And finally an author who is respectful of the older generation. So refreshing.

I've read every book this author has written. I saved this one as the last one to read thinking it would be the worst one. I think its actually the best!! A dual-time line historical thriller. Absolutely great!
