The Traitor Among Us: An Elena Standish Novel

Elena Standish investigates the murder of a fellow MI6 agent near the country estate of one of England´s most influential families in this gripping mystery from New York Times bestselling author Anne Perry. "Unbearably suspenseful."-Bookreporter Not far from the sprawling grounds of Wyndham Hall, the body of longtime MI6 agent John Repton is found, shot dead with a single bullet to the heart. The corpse´s proximity to the estate sends ripples of concern through the intelligence community: Repton was killed while surveilling the members of a household with alleged ties to fascists who threaten the security of the country, as Hitler´s influence spreads across Europe. Elena Standish is assigned the case, thanks to her new connection to the Wyndham family: Her older sister, Margot, is being courted by Lady Wyndham´s brother. Elena secures an invitation to Wyndham Hall for herself and a companion-her colleague James Allenby. To covertly investigate Repton´s murder, the pair must uncover the true loyalties of the people in the house while protecting Margot from her beau´s potentially dangerous relatives. But Elena is torn, for her widowed sister has finally found happiness after years of sorrow, and having to take down the Wyndhams would destroy Margot´s new relationship. As Elena and Allenby dig deeper into the Wyndham family´s nefarious connections, Margot grows suspicious. Can Elena reconcile her political and professional obligations with her loyalty and love for her sister? Will Elena and Allenby uncover their colleague´s killer? In The Traitor Among Us, Anne Perry raises the stakes-for Elena, MI6, and the future of Britain.
