The Sovereign Directive : A Gritty 1940s Alternate History Spy Thriller (The Cold Peace Series Book 1)
Overview
London, 1946. The war that was promised never arrived, leaving the world strangled by the suffocating grip of a paralysing Cold Peace.
Behind the glittering galas of the Savoy and the sterile corridors of Whitehall, the British Empire and the Greater German Reich are locked in a shadow war where the primary currency is secrets and the only law is survival. Ruth Foxx is the perfect instrument for such a world. A former archivist forged into a lethal operative in the brutal training grounds of the Scottish Highlands, she possesses a mechanical mind and a soul hollowed out by the requirements of the state. She does not fight for glory; she operates in the darkness to keep the machinery of the Empire breathing. A GLOBAL CONSPIRACY
When a routine mission to secure naval ciphers uncovers a terrifying plan known as the Sovereign Directive, Ruth finds herself at the centre of a global trap. High-ranking industrialists and corrupt intelligence directors from both sides of the border are planning a simultaneous, devastating strike: the assassination of the British Prime Minister and the bombing of the Reichstag in Berlin. A HUNTED GHOST
Framed for a high-society murder in the Sussex countryside and disavowed by her own mentor, Ruth is forced to become a ghost. Hunted by a ruthless Abwehr spymaster and the very agency that built her, she must navigate a fractured Europe to stop a corporate coup that would turn the continent into a slaughterhouse. From the opulent baccarat tables of Mayfair to the freezing, reinforced fortresses of the French Alps, Ruth Foxx has only her wits, a suppressed pistol, and a cold, driving need for the truth. In a world built on absolute lies, the only thing more dangerous than the conspiracy is the weapon they forgot they created. The Sovereign Directive is a grounded, visceral, and atmospheric historical thriller for readers who enjoy deep-cover espionage, political intrigue, and complex female protagonists.
