"WWI buffs will love the in-depth historical detail." -Publishers

March 1920 Life has turned unsettlingly quiet for former British
Intelligence agent Verity Kent and her husband, Sidney. But even that
false calm is about to end. As threats remain, the French authorities
soon request Sidney's help with a suspect who claims to have proof of
treason--shortly before she is assassinated. And Verity, too, is called
to investigate a mystery . . .
The murder of a Belgian lawyer aboard a train seems at first to be a
simple case of revenge. But the victim was connected to British
Intelligence, and possessed papers detailing the sinking of a gold-laden
German ship during the war.
As Verity and Sidney dig deeper, they discover their cases are
intertwined--and a lethal adversary persists. Officially, the Great War
may be over, but this is a battle of nerves and wits they cannot afford
to lose . . .
