The Rose Code

The Huntress, USA Today, and New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network and The Huntress, is back with another gripping World War II tale about three female code breakers at Bletchley Park and the spy they have to find after the war.

1940: Three very different women respond to an invitation to the secret rural estate Bletchley Park, where the brightest brains in Britain are trained to crack German military codes, as England gets ready to battle the Nazis. Osla is a glamorous debutante who seems to have it all—money, beauty, and a handsome prince Philip of Greece who sends her flowers. However, she is determined to show that she is more than just a society girl, and she uses her fluency in German to translate enemy secrets. Mab, an impertinent woman who rose from poverty in East End, London, is known for her ability to decipher codes while hiding past injuries and searching for a spouse who would benefit her social standing. Osla and Mab see Beth's promise right away; despite her shyness, she has a remarkable aptitude for solving problems, and before long, she becomes one of the Park's few female cryptanalysts. However, secrecy's insurmountable strain, conflict, and loss will rip the three apart.

1948. Three friends who had become enemies are brought back together by a mysterious encrypted letter, the key to which is hidden in the long-ago betrayal that ended their friendship and sent one of them to an asylum, while the royal wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip sends post-war Britain into a fever. Osla, Mab, and Beth now have to revive their old partnership and work together to break one more code since an enigmatic traitor has surfaced from the shadows of their history at Bletchley Park. However, every petal they take out of the rose code exposes them to danger and their real foe, mdash.
