A&B are thrilled to be reissuing these Golden Age espionage thrillers, by a writer who was hugely well reviewed in his heyday. There are nine titles in the series which will be republished during 2015 & 2016. BOOK 8 in the Wallace of the Secret Service series. Much recent media attention given to Wilson’s mysterious and colourful background, with articles in the Independent and London Evening Standard. Sir Leonard Wallace, Chief of the Secret Service, sends one of his agents to Germany to obtain vital information from the Baroness von Reudath. Foster is told to feign infatuation with her, but the lines between reality and pretence soon blur as a result of his growing affection for the baroness. Before long, Foster becomes prey to the insane jealousy of the tyrannical Marshal von Strom: Foster suddenly disappears and the baroness is charged with treason – the punishment for which is death. Can Wallace use his cunning to foil von Strom’s treacherous plans and rescue the distressed lovers before it’s too late? The actor Ruth Wilson, the author’s granddaughter, is to be involved in publicity of the book, alongside a dedicated publicist.
