Summary

Summary

The stunning debut from the new name to watch in espionage thrillers

Lisbon, 1943: When her cover is blown, SOE agent Elisabeth de Mornay flees Paris. Pursued by the Gestapo, she makes her way to neutral Lisbon, where Europe’s elite rub shoulders with diplomats, businessmen, smugglers, and spies. There she receives new orders—and a new identity. Posing as wealthy French widow Solange Verin, Elisabeth must infiltrate a German espionage ring targeting Allied ships, before more British servicemen are killed. But, the closer Elisabeth comes to discovering the truth, the greater the risk grows. With a German officer watching her every step, it will take all of Elisabeth’s resourcefulness and determination to complete her mission. But in a city where no one is who they claim to be, who can she trust?

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

City of Spies is a highly accomplished debut featuring a fabulously feisty heroine, a cast of engaging, authentic characters, a racy plot—seasoned with plenty of sex—played out against the fascinating and glamorous backdrop of WW2 Lisbon. Casablanca meets le Carré for a refreshing spin on the sometimes creaky spy thriller genre.” A. K. Turner, New York Times bestselling author
“Mara Timon perfectly captures the conflicted loyalties of wartime espionage in neutral Portugal. Lisbon provides an atmospheric setting for the twists in this tense spy novel where everyone has chosen a side.” Sarah Armstrong, author of The Wolves of Leninsky Prospekt

Author Bio: Mara Timon

Mara Timon was raised in New York and moved to the UK almost twenty years ago, and fell in love with London and the way it melds the old and the new. Growing up with one parent fascinated with literature and the other with history, she started writing from an early age, although it wasn’t until a program on the BBC caught her interest and one “what if” led to another, that her first book began to take shape.
