HTML:<b>A series of baffling murders among a group of imprisoned agents threatens the outcome of World War II in this chilling mystery from the <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of <i>Mr. Churchill’s Secretary</i>.</b><br /> November, 1942. World War II is raging, and former spy Maggie Hope knows too much: what the British government is willing to do to keep its secrets, who is lying, who the double-crossers are. She knows exactly who is sending agents to their deaths. These are the reasons Maggie is isolated on a remote Scottish island, in a prison known as Killoch Castle. When one of her fellow inmates drops dead in the middle of his after-dinner drink—he’s only the first. As victims fall one by one, Maggie will have to call upon all her wits and skills to escape—not just certain death . . . but certain murder. For what’s the most important thing that Maggie Hope knows? She must survive.<br /> <b>Praise for <i>The Prisoner in the Castle<br /></i></b><br /> “The colonel sums it up best on page ten: ‘If you take a pretty girl and teach her how to kill, it can cause problems.’ Not just problems—<i>electrifying</i> action and nonstop surprises. I loved this book!”<b>—R. L. Stine, author of the Goosebumps and Fear Street series</b><br /> “Another literary tour de force . . . From the book’s perfectly calibrated plot to its incisively etched characters, everything is handled with perfect finesse by the author.”<b>—<i>Poisoned Pen Newsletter</i></b><br /> “One pleasure of a mystery series is connecting with a character that changes and grows with each novel. . . . Maggie’s intelligence and loyalty to the war effort continue to evolve in [Susan Elia] MacNeal’s series. . . . Solid twists keep the plot of <i>The Prisoner in the Castle</i> churning until the surprise finale.”<b>—Associated Press</b><br /> “A mystery . . . tailor-made for readers in the post-election, #MeToo era. . . . If you love a tricky puzzle that requires you to keep track of multiple alibis over time, this is your summer read.”<b>—<i>The Washington Post</i></b><br /> “Evocative.”<b>—<i>Publishers Weekly</i></b><br /> “MacNeal uses [Agatha] Christie’s <i>And Then There Were None</i> as a framework for a character-driven mystery/thriller that successfully emulates the original.”<b>—<i>Kirkus Reviews<br /></i></b>.
