Set in Liverpool during the Blitz of 1940, journalist Ruth Holt faces a harrowing ordeal when her young son, George, is abducted in broad daylight. The kidnappers, collaborating with the Nazis, demand that Ruth leverage her press credentials to supply critical information—or risk her son's life. As she navigates the treacherous path of espionage, Ruth must deceive her employers, family, and lover, all while confronting her own hidden past. The novel delves into themes of trust, betrayal, and the lengths a mother will go to protect her child amidst the chaos of war.
