Set against a backdrop of political tension and the threat of nuclear war in the late 1930s, the novel tells of Joan’s introduction to espionage.

But when she reads about the death of an old acquaintance in the newspaper, she knows it’s only a matter of time before they come for her too. ![]() ![]() Joan Stanley is a cardigan-clad granny who keeps a handkerchief tucked in her sleeve and goes to watercolour classes at the church hall on Tuesday afternoons. ![]()
