From Julia Kelly, internationally bestselling author of The Last
Dance of the Debutante, comes the first in the mysterious and immersive
Parisian Orphan series, A Traitor in Whitehall.
"Kelly spins an Agatha Christie-esque mystery . . . thoroughly
delightful and well-researched."--Susan Elia MacNeal
1940, England: Evelyne Redfern, known as "The Parisian Orphan" as a
child, is working on the line at a munitions factory in wartime London.
When Mr. Fletcher, one of her father's old friends, spots Evelyne on a
night out, Evelyne finds herself plunged into the world of Prime
Minister Winston Churchill's cabinet war rooms.
However, shortly after she settles into her new role as a secretary, one
of the girls at work is murdered, and Evelyne must use all of her
amateur sleuthing expertise to find the killer. But doing so puts her
right in the path of David Poole, a cagey minister's aide who seems
determined to thwart her investigations. That is, until Evelyne finds
out David's real mission is to root out a mole selling government
secrets to Britain's enemies, and the pair begrudgingly team up.
With her quick wit, sharp eyes, and determination, will Evelyne be able
to find out who's been selling England's secrets and catch a killer, all
while battling her growing attraction to David?
