Author M. Rebecca Wildsmith Returns with a Haunting WWII Gothic Thriller
A sexy, dark, and thoroughly addictive thriller. Wildsmith is quickly carving out a genre all her own, and we are all in. If all espionage fiction books delivered this level of characterization, there would be no reason for anyone to read any other genre. - BestThrillers.com
A gripping blend of historical suspense, espionage, murder mystery, psychological horror, and supernatural intrigue, set in war-torn 1940s Italy.Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Daphne du Maurier, Ian Fleming, dark historical thrillers, wartime espionage novels, and gothic supernatural mysteries.
As World War II rages across Europe, Evelina Fontana is recruited by the British government for a dangerous mission behind enemy lines in Fascist Italy. Her assignment: infiltrate a remote asylum harboring secrets that could alter the course of the war.
Undercover as a nurse inside the imposing institution, Evelina quickly realizes that the asylum is far more terrifying than intelligence reports suggested.
Patients vanish without explanation.
Violent murders stain the halls.
Whispers echo through locked corridors at night.
And something unnatural seems to lurk beneath the surface of the asylum itself.
As Evelina attempts to uncover enemy operations hidden within the institution, she finds herself trapped in a deadly web of espionage, paranoia, occult mysteries, and psychological terror. With insanity closing in from every side, she must decipher hidden spy messages before the truth consumes her completely.
But some secrets were never meant to be uncovered.
Atmospheric, chilling, and filled with shocking twists, Evelina Fontana combines wartime espionage with supernatural suspense in a haunting gothic thriller that will keep readers guessing until the final page.
Readers who love hidden clues and immersive mysteries should pay close attention: Certain encoded messages within Evelina Fontana can only be deciphered using a paperback or hardcover copy of Verity Easton, purchased from Amazon.
Although Evelina Fontana is a standalone novel, readers of Verity Easton will also delight in the return of a crossover character.
