In the midst of the London Blitz, a spy is born and so is a star. Lane Winslow, an unlikely but resilient heroine, is someone to follow and someone to root for, and this is only the beginning of her story. --J. A. Jance, New York Times bestselling author
In A Season for Spies, the page-turning prequel to the mystery series Publishers Weekly calls highly entertaining, Lane Winslow embarks on her first spy mission in wartime England, while her grandparents' quiet Christmas in Scotland is interrupted by a mysterious guest.
In wartime England, Lane Winslow has been pulled out of her studies at Oxford and spends her days in London translating for the war office. Things are grim, and it looks like no one is going home for Christmas--that is, not until Lane's commanding officer orders her to drop everything to do just that. He's loathe to send a woman, but a very important agent needs an escort into the country from an isolated cove in Scotland in just a few days, and Lane's family connections in the north are the perfect cover for this mission of utmost secrecy.
On rails, wheels, and snowshoes, Lane makes her way up the country through the thick snows, navigating inquiries from old friends, distrustful townspeople, and dangerous interference on her race against time. Resourceful, but still untested, Lane will have to use all of her wits to make it out of her mission unscathed.
Meanwhile, Lane's grandparents are delighted by the news that she'll be up for the holidays, but their cheery preparations are interrupted by clues suggesting a mysterious visitor has dropped right down into the forest outside their cottage. They might have a British airman wandering around in danger--or someone much more sinister lurking in the woods. Cozy and action-packed, this prequel to the beloved Lane Winslow mysteries shows readers just where Lane got her mettle.
