Book
Restless
Paris, 1939. Russian émigrée Eva Delectorskaya is recruited into a covert British intelligence unit and trained by Lucas Romer in surveillance, deception and clandestine propaganda. Her assignments take her through wartime Europe and the United States, where British agents seek to influence American opinion while rival services pursue their own agendas.
Decades later Eva lives quietly in England under another name, but she believes someone from the old operation has found her. She turns to her daughter Ruth and begins revealing the history she has concealed since the war. The two timelines tighten around a question of betrayal, showing espionage not as glamorous adventure but as a profession that permanently changes a person’s relationship with truth and trust.
