Red Lily: A Delightful Cold War Spy Mystery with a Parisian Flair

From the New York Times bestselling author of Firebird comes a delightfully funny and tender tale of family secrets, reluctant spies, and one unforgettable woman!

Paris 1989.

A cold war is ending.

A new family is beginning.

And one dog is about to save the day.

Carl Box has never met his Aunt Lily. She was the family scandal - exiled, disgraced, and never spoken of. So when he's named the heir to her Paris estate, he packs a bag (and his two-legged dog, Billy) and prepares for paperwork, not espionage.

But Lily is very much alive. And very much in trouble.

What begins as a simple inheritance turns into a Cold War caper filled with coded messages, eccentric operatives, and secrets that could still get people killed. Carl soon finds himself in the role of spy - dodging agents, covering for Lily, and wondering what exactly she's been hiding all these years.

Red Lily is a warm, witty historical suspense about unexpected heroism and the mysteries of family ties - perfect for fans of Killers of a Certain Age, Jacqueline Winspear, and Only Murders in the Building.
