Secrets, betrayal, espionage, female friendship, and even recipes. Set in the aftermath of World War II, this novel follows Edith Graham, a quiet German teacher longing for adventure. She’s recruited by the British government to work in postwar Germany — and to spy.
Her unassuming appearance and fluency in German make her the perfect candidate. She even has a personal connection to one of the most-wanted war criminals, Count Kurt von Stabenow.
As Edith rebuilds schools and sends coded messages hidden in cooking columns, she discovers that not everything is as it seems — especially concerning von Stabenow.
