The Last Postcard

Spain, 1928. With blood on her hands, a young woman runs. Years later, a postcard reveals a life built on secrets…

In the dead of night, Alejandra flees.

Accused of murder, she crosses the sea to Tangier – the glittering port city on the edge of two worlds. There, she loses herself in maze-like streets and sun-drenched courtyards, where the air is scented with saffron and heat clings to her skin.

Against the backdrop of the shimmering sea, winding alleys conceal danger, every shadow hides a secret – and Alejandra can be whoever she chooses to be. But her new life comes at a cost… And the truth is catching up with her.

Fifty years later, a struggling author pawns his typewriter for an old writing case. Inside, Sam finds a postcard: a trace of a life long hidden.

Drawn into a mystery he cannot turn from, Sam follows a trail of scandal and betrayal – until it leads him to an overgrown villa, where the danger has only just begun…

Lose yourself in the blue skies and baking heat of this richly atmospheric historical mystery spanning decades. Perfect for fans of Evie Woods, Eve Chase and Santa Montefiore.
