History records that Lord Kitchener was lost when HMS Hampshire struck a mine off the Orkney coast on 5 June 1916. But history does not always tell the whole story.
As Britain fights for survival during the darkest years of the First World War, intelligence officer Lieutenant Christophe Hubert and Scotland Yard detective Anne Banfield find themselves drawn into an investigation that reaches from the corridors of Whitehall to the storm-lashed waters of the North Sea.
Official reports speak of tragedy. Rumours speak of betrayal.
When evidence emerges that challenges everything believed about Kitchener's final voyage, Hubert and Banfield uncover a conspiracy stretching across Britain and Germany, where spies, politicians and secret services all have reasons to conceal the truth.
Drawing upon extensive historical research and real people, places and events, Blackest of Lies blends authentic history with compelling fiction to tell a story of espionage, courage and deception at the highest levels of government.
Perfect for readers who enjoy intelligent historical thrillers from authors such as Robert Harris, Rory Clements and C. J. Sansom.
