- Synopsis
- A &“splendidly sharp . . . mix of espionage, wifely identity crisis, and unlikely romance&” by the author of the Dalziel and Pascoe mysteries (Kirkus Reviews). Best known for his Dalziel and Pascoe novels, which were adapted into a hit BBC series, Reginald Hill proves himself to be a &“master of . . . cerebral puzzle mysteries&” in his stand-alone thrillers as well—now available as ebooks (The New York Times). Molly Keatley is a happy housewife living comfortably day-to-day in Westcliff-on-Sea. That changes in a heartbeat when her husband, Sam, grabs his suitcase, offers a hurried &“I love you,&” sprints out the door, and disappears from her life. Then, a British agent invites himself in with shattering news: Sam is a Soviet spy and traitor. And his secrets don&’t end there. Though her dream life has been upended by an unforgivable betrayal, Molly won&’t be intimidated. Not by Sam&’s unstable mistress, not by British Intelligence, nor by Sam&’s colleagues, who are watching every move she makes. But when she receives a surreptitious invitation from Sam to join him in Bucharest, Molly&’s life will change once again as she discovers the nature of his lies, the consequences of deception, and the truth about her own desires. Reginald Hill has crafted a &“terrific, suspenseful tale and an extraordinary heroine&” (Cleveland Plain-Dealer).
