Love this bright eye-catching cover! (Especially as it matches the colour scheme in my living room!)
It also sounds great from the blurb!
Corpus: The blurb
1936.
Europe is
in turmoil.
The Nazis have marched into the Rhineland.
In Russia, Stalin has
unleashed his Great Terror. Spain has erupted in civil war.
In Berlin,
a young Englishwoman evades the Gestapo to deliver vital papers to a Jewish
scientist. Within weeks, she is found dead in her Cambridge bedroom, a silver
syringe clutched in her fingers.
In a London
club, three senior members of the British establishment light the touch paper
on a conspiracy that will threaten the very heart of government. Even the
ancient colleges of Cambridge are not immune to political division. Dons and
students must choose a side: right or left, where do you stand?
When a renowned
member of the county set and his wife are found horribly murdered, a maverick
history professor finds himself dragged into a world of espionage which, until
now, he has only read about in books. But the deeper Thomas Wilde delves, the
more he wonders whether the murders are linked to the death of the girl with
the silver syringe - and, just as worryingly, to the scandal surrounding King
Edward VIII and his mistress Wallis Simpson...
