Master of the wartime spy thriller – FINANCIAL TIMES

________________

Sweden, 1942 - Two old friends meet. They are cousins. One is Prince George, Duke of Kent, brother of the King of England. The other is Prince Philipp von Hessen, a committed Nazi and close friend of Adolf Hitler.

Days later, Prince George is killed in a plane crash in the north of Scotland. The official story is that it was an accident – but not everyone is convinced.

There is even a suggestion that the Duke's plane was sabotaged, but with no evidence, Cambridge spy Tom Wilde is sent north to discover the truth...

Dramatic, intelligent, and brilliantly compelling, A Prince and a Spy is Rory's best WWII thriller yet – perfect for readers of Robert Harris, C J Sansom, and Joseph Kanon.
