The Queen's Accomplice: A Maggie Hope Mystery

Spy and code-breaker extraordinaire Maggie Hope returns to war-weary London, where she is thrust into the dangerous hunt for a monster, as the New York Times bestselling mystery series for fans of Jacqueline Winspear, Charles Todd, and Anne Perry continues.

England, 1942. The Nazisâ€™ relentless Blitz may have paused, but Londonâ€™s nightly blackouts continue. Now, under the cover of darkness, a madman is brutally killing and mutilating young women in eerie and exact re-creations of Jack the Ripperâ€™s crimes. Whatâ€™s more, heâ€™s targeting women who are reporting for duty to be Winston Churchillâ€™s spies and saboteurs abroad. The officers at MI-5 quickly realize they need the help of special agent Maggie Hope to find the killer dubbed â€œthe Blackout Beast.â€ A trap is set. But once the murderer has his sights on Maggie, not even Buckingham Palace can protect the resourceful spy from her fate.
