Such a highly intriguing story right from the start. The author easily creates a very tangible and frightening backdrop of historical events. Which is compounded by how eerily timely it is reading this through the lens of current word affairs. There is a real palpable sense of urgency and fear on the page. Fear and the constant threat of death around every corner. I can’t wait to see the twists and turns this story takes as the blurb highlights even more intrigue along the way.
