Blood surges through Annie’s veins as she stares into the cold eyes of the Nazi who destroyed her family. This is her last chance to make it right…

London, 1941. The war has already taken everything from Annie. Her sweetheart Harry returned from the front with broken limbs and grief-stricken eyes, and her father betrayed his family by joining the Nazis. But with each new day at her desk in the War Office, a flame burns inside her to right her father’s wrongs and do everything she can to stop the war…

Nuremberg Trials, 1946. The war is over, but the search for justice is just beginning. Annie’s stomach churns when she sees Margarete outside the courtroom. This woman stole her father away and was one of the last people inside Hitler’s bunker. Since the war ended Margarete has continued to support the Nazis. Annie knows this is her only chance to expose her.

But if she tells the truth, Annie must also reveal her father's dark past, putting her own family’s safety at risk. With an impossible choice to make, will Annie have the courage to tell the world the truth about who Margarete really is, no matter the cost?

I write historical fiction set primarily in Berlin, covering the period from the 1930s up to the fall of the Berlin Wall and dealing with the long shadows left by war. I've had twelve novels published with Bookouture to date, including a series, and there are more to come. My books have also been translated into a number of languages including French, Danish and, most recently, German.

I spends as much time as I can in Berlin, where my son also lives, and can read German fluently, although I speak it more like a toddler. I'm from the North of England but now live in Glasgow with my American husband. I love to travel and have recently visited Mexico City which I loved. If I'm not at my desk, you’ll find me at the cinema or just follow the sound of very loud music but bear in mind that I've been told, more than once, that I have the musical tastes of a teenage boy…
