The hidden history of Bletchley Park comes to life through the eyes of three extraordinary women who work in secrecy to defeat the Nazis. This gripping novel captures the frantic world of the Enigma codebreakers, showcasing meticulous research and strong characterization. In 1940, as England prepares to fight, three diverse women arrive at Bletchley Park, where Britain's brightest minds work to break German military codes. Osla, a vivacious debutante, seeks to prove herself beyond her privileged life, using her fluent German to translate decoded enemy secrets. Mab, a self-made woman from a poor London background, operates the legendary codebreaking machines while concealing her past and searching for a socially advantageous marriage. They recognize the potential in Beth, a shy village spinster with a talent for puzzles, who becomes one of the few female cryptanalysts at the Park. However, war and secrecy strain their friendship. By 1947, as Britain celebrates the royal wedding, a mysterious encrypted letter brings the estranged friends back together, revealing a long-buried betrayal and a traitor from their past. Osla, Mab, and Beth must reunite to crack one last code, but each revelation brings them closer to danger and their true enemy.
