🔎 The Plot
Winter, 1947. Britain is freezing, broke, and fragile, and the Cold War is already biting. When whispers of a Soviet mole inside the security services reach Cambridge historian-turned-spymaster Tom Wilde, he’s pulled back into the shadows to hunt a traitor whose leak could cripple a nation still rationing light and bread.

From artists’ salons and union halls to smoky backrooms where London’s underworld greases politics, Tom tracks three converging spy networks while Stalin’s “special tasks” enforcers stoke chaos from afar. Every meeting is a test, every friend a potential liar, and one misstep could doom both country and family.

🧨 The Hook
A postwar spy hunt set in the coldest winter on record — gritty streets, brittle loyalties, and an enemy that’s already inside the house.

3. High-Wire Stakes: Tom Wilde races a ruthless Soviet operator while protecting the people he can’t afford to lose.
