Praise for the first in the Cotton series, The Maze of Cadiz: - --- A splendid debut mystery - The Times Clever and fascinating - Guardian An impressive novel with an extraordinary, dream-like atmosphere . . . The next can t come too soon - Financial Times The deliberate anticlimax is a bold and broadly justified gesture of confidence in the power of her sense of time, place and character to charm the reader into a story told entirely on her own terms - Daily Telegraph Plenty of room for future development - TLS Stands out from the current glut of period thrillers' - Mail on Sunday 'A brilliantly readable book full of human history and entertaining anecdotes - Lancashire Evening Post

Reseña del editor

September 1945. Bankrupt and desperate, Britain sends John Maynard Keynes to boom town Washington to beg for a loan. Under cover of the backup team, agent Peter Cotton is sent to investigate the break-up of America s wartime intelligence agency. Cotton finds himself caught up in a world of shadows involving an extraordinarily attractive girl from the US State Department, a Soviet ex-tank commander claiming to be his opposite number, a contrarian African academic, an ambitious, quick-tempered boss from the world of misinformation . . . and an Anglo-American conspiracy that will change the world of post-war intelligence for ever.
