Berlin, 1938. Scottish author Corran Rutherford is travelling to Germany to deliver lectures about her books as well as write articles about life under the Third Reich. But beneath this respectable cover lies her true mission: infiltrate the social circle of a high-ranking Luftwaffe officer and gather intelligence for MI6.
Corran steps into a complicated political landscape, a world of hidden loyalties and dangerous secrets. Inside the seemingly innocuous offices of British Passport Control, the routine issuing of visas and passports veils a network of agents connected across Europe. And under the gathering clouds of war and in plain sight of the authorities, Frank Foley uses his mundane bureaucratic role to bend rules and forge lifelines, helping desperate Jewish citizens escape persecution.
Inspired by remarkable true events, The Berlin Passport Office is a gripping story of espionage, courage and quiet resistance in the darkening shadow of the Nazi regime.
Flora Johnston worked for over twenty years in museums and heritage interpretation, including at the National Museums of Scotland, which has greatly influenced the historical fiction she now writes. The Paris Peacemakers delved into the lives of characters picking up the pieces in the aftermath of the First World War, and their stories continue in The Endeavour of Elsie Mackay. She lives in Edinburgh.
