Publisher's summary

On her first mission for MI6, the daring young photographer at the heart of this thrilling new mystery series by best-selling author Anne Perry travels to Mussolini's Italy to rescue the lover who betrayed her.

Britain's secret intelligence service, MI6, has lost contact with its informant in northern Italy, just as important information about the future plans of Austria and Nazi Germany is coming to light. And young Elena Standish, to her surprise, is the only person who can recognize MI6's man - because he is her former lover. Aiden Strother betrayed Elena six years ago, throwing shame on her entire family. Now, with so much to prove, Elena heads to Trieste to track down Aiden and find out what happened to his handler, who has mysteriously cut off contact with Britain.

As Elena gets word of a secret group working to put Austria in the hands of Germany, her older sister, Margot, is in Berlin to watch a childhood friend get married - to a member of the Gestapo. Margot and Elena's grandfather, the former head of MI6, is none too happy about the sisters' travels at this tumultuous time, especially when a violent event at home reminds him that even Britain is growing dangerous. As his own investigation collides with his granddaughters, whats at stake on the continent becomes increasingly frightening - and personal.

Against the backdrop of a rapidly changing Europe, New York Times best-selling author Anne Perry crafts a novel full of suspense, political intrigue, and the struggle between love and loyalty to country.

Who is betraying whom

I liked the main Character and her adventures behind enemy lines post war. Who can she trust?
Enjoyable characters, story has it all-post war fear, betrayal, a list, and a former lover. Can she bring him back home with all the info he's learned as an agent?
Narrator did a great job with all the character voices.
I would recommend this series.

Much better

This second entry in the series is much better than the first one. It moved at a better pace, while still balancing the different storylines.

A must read

I loved everything about the book: history and mystery, performance. A fabulous book to listen to while traveling. The book was so engaging that I missed two exits which worked in my favor. I miss a lot of construction.

Not as good as Book 1

Meh. Not as good as the first book in this series. Too much about appearances and so forth--great clothes, great bodies, handsome guys. :) Gets tiresome. Especially if the plot is rather transparent.

Wow, what a story!!!

I love Elenor Standish!!! (And ALL THE CHARACTERS, even the evil ones...okay, only like evil ones),

Maybe even be better than Monk, Hester, T and C Pitt, and D Pitt!! (And THAT’s saying something). I’ve read books 1 and 2 of this series...frantically looking for number 3 to download. Worried to read number 4, as it may be a while for another one to be published.

Please write another one!!!!!
