From the acclaimed author of The Conviction of Cora Burns, longlisted for the Historical Writers' Association Debut Crown Award. England, 1943. Lost in fog, pilot Vee Katchatourian is forced to make an emergency landing where she meets enigmatic RAF airman Stefan Bergel, and then can't get him out of her mind. In occupied Poland, Ewa Hartman hosts German officers in her father's guest house, while secretly gathering intelligence for the Polish resistance. Mourning her lover, Stefan, who was captured by the Soviets at the start of the war, Ewa is shocked to him on the street one day. Haunted by a terrible choice he made in captivity, Stefan asks Vee and Ewa to help him expose one of the darkest secrets of the war. But it is not clear where everyone's loyalties lie until they are tested... "Historical fiction at its finest" HOWARD LINSKEY "An engaging and elegantly written novel on the grim realities of war, and the moral choices that can result. Highly recommended" ROGER MOORHOUSE "In a story where loyalties are called into question, she kept me guessing to the final page" ANITA FRANK "A vivid novel that stays with you long after you reach the final page... told in breathless present tense" FIONA ERSKINE
