AN UNLIKELY SPY
‘An Unlikely Spy gripped me to the end: I devoured it. What a rare treat to find a novel that offers both white-knuckled suspense and evocative, beautiful prose. I loved it.’ — Hannah Kent, author of Burial Rites and The Good People
‘Rebecca Starford seems to be the inheritor of the cool, narrative elegance of Graham Green and John le Carré … She has found a fascinating an unexpected World War II corner of espionage to exploit for a plot that runs like milk and honey.’ — Thomas Keneally, author of Schindler’s List
