Munich, 1938. Julia ‘Missie’ Ormesby, a young Englishwoman, meets Conrad von Echlau, a German aristocrat whose conscience is increasingly at odds with Nazi rule. Their relationship is immediate but precarious, and Europe’s movement from appeasement towards war separates them. Conrad remains bound to Germany and the Luftwaffe, while Missie returns to Britain, where her command of German draws her into the secret intelligence world at Bletchley Park.
When Conrad is selected for a covert German mission, the war brings the former lovers back into dangerous proximity. British intelligence begins to close in, forcing Missie to decide what loyalty requires when affection, duty and national survival conflict. Lowther-Pinkerton combines a cross-border love story with espionage and wartime suspense, moving from Munich under Nazism to the concealed contest of codebreaking and divided allegiance during the Second World War.
