The compelling mystery series is set at the dawn of the Cold War 1949. The Cold War is intensifying and rumours abound that the Russians are close to creating an atomic bomb.
Beattie Cavendish, special operative for a covert section of GCHQ, is a spy like no other. She is an unusual figure in the world of espionage. As a woman in the male-dominated world of the late 1940s and 1950s, she is passionate, opinionated and gives no quarter to anyone.
Beattie is sent to a pivotal listening station in the Highlands of Scotland where she finds a base in chaos and danger around every corner…
As the snow begins to fall hard and fast, Beattie realises that, as she navigates the dangerous world of spying and intrigue, she is putting her life in danger, and that the answers she is looking for lie buried in her wartime past.
