Paperback. "A perfect summer read; gripping, original, well-drawn andcompassionate"--Joanne Harris "Celia Rees is a superb writer, and this novel has one of the mostirresistible and unique story hooks I've ever come across. This bookdeserves to be huge!"--SophieHannah A striking historical novel about an ordinary young Britishwoman sent to uncover a network of spies and war criminals in post-war Germanythat will appeal to fans of The Huntress and Transcription.World War II has justended, and Britain has established the Control Commission for Germany, whichoversees their zone of occupation. The Control Commission hires Britishcivilians to work in Germany, rebuild the shattered nation and prosecute warcrimes. Somewhat aimless, bored with her job as a provincial schoolteacher, andunwilling to live with her overbearingmother any longer, thirtysomething Edith Graham applies for a job with the Commission--but she isalso recruited by her cousin, Leo, who is in the Secret Service. To them, Edith is perfect spy material.single, ordinary-looking, with a college degree in German. Cousin Leo wentto Oxford with one of their most hunted war criminals, Count Kurt von Stavenow, who Edith remembers all too well from before the war. Hewants her to find him.Intrigued by thechallenge, Edith heads to Germany armed with a convincing cover story: she's an unassuming Education Officer sent to help resurrect German schools. To sendinformation back to her Secret Service handlersin London, Edith has crafted the perfect alter ego, cookbook author StellaSnelling, who writes a popular magazine cookery column. She embeds crucial intelligence within the recipes shecollects. But occupied Germany is awash with other spies, collaborators, andopportunists, and as she's pulled into their world, Edith soon discovers thatno one is what they seem to be. The closer she gets to uncovering von Stavenow's whereabouts--and the network of German civilianswho still support him--the greater the danger. With a unique, compellingpremise, Miss Graham's Cold War Cookbook is a beautifullycrafted and gripping novel about daring, betrayal, and female friendship.
