Ena shook off the memories of those days and looked down at the River Thames. It was deep and dark and held more secrets than the British intelligence and security services, which she'd grown to despise... Ena Dudley's new office is a welcome change from her past life investigating wartime spies. Now a private investigator at Dudley Green Associates, she delves into the secrets lurking within London's underbelly. Despite her husband and sisters' advice to steer clear of the city and its bad memories, Ena feels she is exactly where she is needed. Determined to separate her worries from her work, she follows her instincts and takes on an unusual new case. Ena's mission: to investigate the disappearance of a priceless William Hogarth painting. As Ena looks at the evidence surrounding the stolen masterpiece, she uncovers a string of art thefts targeting London's renowned galleries. The police suspect a dangerous gang may be involved. Ena, accompanied by her husband, Henry, attends an art exhibition where she witnesses a violent confrontation in the street outside. As Ena begins to unlock the mystery around the painting, some familiar faces from her time in British intelligence begin to come back into her life. Do the secrets of Ena's past run deeper than any of them could ever imagine? An enthralling story of secrets, love and deception that will leave readers desperate to read more.

I was bought up in a busy pub in a market town called Lutterworth. For as long as I remember, I wanted to be an actress and writer. I was offered a television role when I was sixteen, but my mother wanted me to have a 'proper' job, so I did a hairdressing apprenticeship instead. Eight years later, aged twenty-four, I sold two successful businesses for a place at East 15 Drama College and a career as an actress, working in Repertory theatre, the West End, film and television. In 2000 I gave up acting, taught myself to touch type, completed a two-year college course and began writing articles and presenting radio. In 2010, after living in London for thirty-six years, I returned to Lutterworth, swapping two window boxes and a mortgage for a garden and the freedom to write - and I loved it. Since then, I have written a series of ten novels. The first four books, set in World War Two, introduce the Dudley sisters. Three post-war books follow, and then three mystery, crime and spy thrillers take the Dudley sisters to 1960. Each story stands alone but is interwoven with the other stories.
