About this ebook
In the gripping new spy thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Hitler's Secret, a Cambridge spy must unravel a dangerous mystery that goes all the way to the heart of the Third Reich - and the British Monarchy.
'Master of the wartime spy thriller' - FINANCIAL TIMES
________________
Sweden, 1942 - Two old friends meet. They are cousins. One is Prince George, Duke of Kent, brother of the King of England. The other is Prince Philipp von Hessen, a committed Nazi and close friend of Adolf Hitler.
Days later, the Prince George is killed in a plane crash in the north of Scotland. The official story is that it was an accident - but not everyone is convinced.
There is even a suggestion that the Duke's plane was sabotaged, but with no evidence, Cambridge spy Tom Wilde is sent north to discover the truth . . .
Dramatic, intelligent, and brilliantly compelling, A PRINCE AND A SPY is Rory's best WWII thriller yet - perfect for readers of Robert Harris, C J Sansom and Joseph Kanon.

Had I not received this in exchange for a review, it is unlikely that it would be a book that I would have picked up. However I am so glad that I have read it, and having not read any of Rory Clements' books before I will definitely look out for them in the future. This historical spy thriller follows Professor Wilde as he searches for answers about the 'accidental' crash of a plane carrying Prince George, the Duke of Kent. In his search for answers Wilde becomes entangled in a dark web of secrets leading to questions of Nazi involvement. But was it the Nazis or was the crash as a result of orders closer to home? From the moment I picked up this book I was desperate to find out the story behind the crash and couldn't put the book down. The well paced book had regular twists and turns helping to keep me on edge and wanting to find out more - right down to the very end.
