The Thousand-Year Spy: A World War II Suspense Novel

The Thousand-Year Spy opens in 1944 London, where, as Operation OVERLORD looms, the British Secret Service devises an audacious scheme: the false-flag recruitment of a German admiral who secretly is a communist. There isn’t much time. The admiral will be approachable only during the brief window when he travels to neutral Sweden at the head of a Nazi delegation. For the daring gambit to succeed, the British first must borrow from the Americans a linguistically brilliant young analyst, Linnea Thorsell, setting in motion her rigorous preparations, infiltration, and the ultimate showdown in Stockholm. The Thousand-Year Spy serves up a precarious foray into deception that will enthrall fans of John Le Carré and Alan Furst.
