"A perfect summer read; gripping, original, well-drawn and compassionate"--Joanne Harris
"Celia Rees is a superb writer, and this novel has one of the most irresistible and unique story hooks I''ve ever come across. This book deserves to be huge!"--Sophie Hannah
A striking historical novel about an ordinary young British woman sent to uncover a network of spies and war criminals in post-war Germany that will appeal to fans of The Huntress and Transcription.
World War II has just ended, and Britain has established the Control Commission for Germany, which oversees their zone of occupation. The Control Commission hires British civilians to work in Germany, rebuild the shattered nation and prosecute war crimes. Somewhat aimless, bored with her job as a provincial schoolteacher, and unwilling to live with her overbearing mother any longer, thirtysomething Edith Graham applies for a job with the Commission—but she is also recruited by her cousin, Leo, who is in the Secret Service. To them, Edith is perfect spy material...single, ordinary-looking, with a college degree in German. Cousin Leo went to Oxford with one of their most hunted war criminals, Count Kurt von Stavenow, who Edith remembers all too well from before the war. He wants her to find him.
Intrigued by the challenge, Edith heads to Germany armed with a convincing cover story: she''s an unassuming Education Officer sent to help resurrect German schools. To send information back to her Secret Service handlers in London, Edith has crafted the perfect alter ego, cookbook author Stella Snelling, who writes a popular magazine cookery column. She embeds crucial intelligence within the recipes she collects. But occupied Germany is awash with other spies, collaborators, and opportunists, and as she''s pulled into their world, Edith soon discovers that no one is what they seem to be. The closer she gets to uncovering von Stavenow''s whereabouts--and the network of German civilians who still support him--the greater the danger.
With a unique, compelling premise, Miss Graham''s Cold War Cookbook is a beautifully crafted and gripping novel about daring, betrayal, and female friendship.

In der Klasse von Alex war es vor zwei Jahren zu einem drastischen Mobbingfall gekommen: Damals hatten sich alle gegen Michael Bailey verschworen. Niemand hatte ihn berühren oder mit ihm sprechen dürfen und die Schulgang hatte immer wieder Geld von ihm erpresst. In seiner Verzweiflung war Bailey über ein Brückengeländer geklettert und anstatt ihm zu helfen, hatte fast die ganze Klasse "Spring, spring" gerufen, alle waren völlig verrückt gewesen. Michael Bailey konnte damals in letzter Sekunde gerettet werden und Alex hatte nicht im Traum daran gedacht, dass sich so etwas noch einmal ereignen könnte. Aber bei Lauren, der Neuen in der Klasse, scheint sich Baileys Geschichte zu wiederholen ...
