In 1954, Matilda leaves behind the rural town of Queanbeyan, New South Wales, for a new life on Queensland's Gold Coast, where she falls for the charming Dr. Bernard Collins. Their love story leads her to Girraween, the Collins family's vast sheep station near Dalby. But what begins as a tale of romance and new beginnings takes a sinister turn with an intriguing discovery hidden within their home.
As Matilda and Bernard dig into the secrets of the previous occupants of their home, they unravel a chilling connection to World War II espionage. With the help of a cryptic local jeweller, they uncover the shadowy past of Anton and Kalina Petryczek, Polish Refugees- or something more?
As their pursuit of the truth spirals into a deadly game of cat and mouse, Matilda and Bernard find themselves hunted by unseen forces willing to kill to keep history buried. When arson and murder strike too close to home, they must confront the ghosts of a war long past-before the past consumes them completely.
A sweeping tale of love, betrayal, and the long reach of war, The Telephone: A Spy Story will keep you riveted until the final, shocking revelation.
