Read a sample Read a sample
Liverpool, 1940. "Where's George?" Ruth didn't realise that she had grabbed hold of the other woman's arms. "Where's my son?" Journalist Ruth Holt is struggling in the terror of the Blitz when her young son is suddenly snatched away in broad daylight. Soon after, the kidnappers' demands arrive. They are working with the Nazis, and she has no choice but to co-operate, or the authorities will learn that she is harbouring secrets of her own. Ruth's job gives her access to critical information, and if she does not share it with Britain's enemies, her child will face the consequences. Desperate, she falsifies information, lying to everyone: her employers, her family and her lover. But as the demands increase, the knife edge she walks on grows increasingly thin. If she falls, she will never save her son. A powerful and heartbreaking WWII historical novel for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Nightingale and Beneath a Scarlet Sky. Readers LOVE The German Messenger! 'A mesmerizing historical novel that gripped me from the start... Simply marvellous.' NetGalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I loved this book... I finished it in one sitting.' NetGalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'A wonderful combination of the impact of the World War II Blitz, skullduggery and friendship all thrown in together... Would recommend.' NetGalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I did not want to put this book down... I finished in two sittings. I loved it.' NetGalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
