Thriller Historical
The followup to the literate and action-packed historical
thriller Speakeasy, Doublespeak finds plucky
protagonist Lena on a journey back to her past. Lieutenant Lena Stillman has been left, nearly alone, on her
code-breaking mission in remote Alaska. World War II has
been over for a month, but due to crimes committed a
lifetime ago, Lena is still under the control of the
powerful Miss Maggie. Shaken by her role in the disappearance of Corporal Link
Hughes—and by her own misjudgment of his character—Lena
yearns for an opportunity to redeem them both. Then she
receives a shocking message containing Link’s potential
location: Siam. Embarking on a clandestine rescue mission to
Bangkok, Lena is reunited with shadows from her
past—including loyal friend Byron who is eager to escape his
safe, dull life and the attractive yet dangerous “William
Yardly.” As personal and political allegiances shift in the
postwar maelstrom, it seems impossible to know who is good
or bad, innocent or culpable and whether they are motivated
by love or revenge. Overlaying rich historic detail and an intricate plot,
Doublespeak is an entrancing sequel to Alisa Smith’s
first novel Speakeasy, which received the honor of
being a Walter Scott Prize Academy recommended book of 2018.
