Publisher's Synopsis
Fairy tales sometimes hold dark secrets. Following the death of his wife, ex-MI5 head of counterespionage Jack Sinclair retires to run a bookshop in Sherborne, Dorset. He never thought that buying a book of Grimms fairy tales would reveal an international conspiracy of right-wing fanatics. His life and that of the young journalist Lucy Temple are under threat until they can find out what is in a Swiss bank account. An account which rightly belongs to a girl forced from Germany by the Nazis to escape on the Kindertransport. A pacy thriller which goes from Berlin in 1938 though the end of the war in 1945 to modern-day Atlanta, Zurich and Sherborne. Can CIA agent Hank Jordan protect his friend Jack and will the fairy tales finally unlock the secrets of the past?
