The Prisoner in the Castle: A Maggie Hope Mystery

The Prisoner in the Castle: A Maggie Hope Mystery

A series of baffling murders among a group of imprisoned agents threatens the outcome of World War II in this chilling mystery from the New York Times bestselling author of Mr. Churchillâ€™s Secretary.

World War II is raging, and former spy Maggie Hope knows too much.

She knows what the British government is willing to do to keep its secrets.

She knows the real location of the planned invasion of France.

She knows whoâ€™s lying. She knows who the double-crossers are. She knows exactly who is sending agents to their deaths.

These are the reasons Maggie is isolated on a remote Scottish island, in a prison known as Killoch Castle, out of contact with friends and family.

Then one of her fellow inmates drops dead in the middle of his after-dinner drinkâ€”and heâ€™s only the first. As victims fall one by one, Maggie will have to call upon all her wits and skills to escapeâ€”not just certain death . . . but certain murder.

For whatâ€™s the most important thing Maggie Hope knows?

She must survive.
