"In
1940, eighteen-year old Juliet Armstrong is reluctantly recruited into
the world of espionage. Sent to an obscure department of MI5 tasked with
monitoring the comings and goings of British Fascist sympathizers, she
discovers the work to be by turns both tedious and terrifying. But after
the war has ended, she presumes the events of those years have been
relegated to the past forever. Ten years later, now a radio
producer at the BBC, Juliet is unexpectedly confronted by figures from
her past. A different war is being fought now, on a different
battleground, but Juliet finds herself once more under threat. A bill of
reckoning is due, and she finally begins to realize that there is no
action without consequence." (Goodreads)
