In the final, chaotic days of World War II, the world teeters between peace and peril-and in the shadows, a different war is just beginning. When a British diplomat is found murdered in the heart of bomb-ravaged London, seasoned detective Samuel Langley is thrust into a world of espionage and deception. With only a bloodstained journal and a trail of cryptic clues, Langley joins forces with Eleanor Sinclair, a fearless photojournalist with a sharp eye for truth, and Sable, a mysterious spy whose loyalties remain as veiled as her identity. Their investigation uncovers a hidden network of spies, double agents, and shadowy organizations that span from the war-torn ruins of Berlin to the elegant salons of Paris and the neutral corridors of Switzerland. As the trio navigates through betrayals and fragile alliances, they begin to unravel a post-war conspiracy that could reshape the balance of global power. But in a world where no one is who they seem and trust is a dangerous currency, survival means facing not only external enemies-but the ghosts of their own pasts.
