Soon after, the kidnappers’ demands arrive. They are working with the Nazis, and she has no choice but to co-operate, or the authorities will learn that she is harbouring secrets of her own.Ruth’s job gives her access to critical information, and if she does not share it with Britain’s enemies, her child will face the consequences.

If she falls, she will never save her son. |
