A Jewel in the Crown

A Jewel in the Crown

David Lewis
Historical Fiction, Historical Thriller, Thriller, World War 2

Summer, 1940. Britain reels from Dunkirk, invasion looms, and Winston Churchill hatches a desperate plan: smuggle the Crown Jewels out of London before they fall into Nazi hands. The mission requires two spies disguised as husband and wife.

Caitrin Colline, a Welsh coalminer’s daughter with sharp wits and sharper convictions, is an unlikely candidate. Yet paired with Hector Neville-Percy, a polished lord, her grit and his aristocratic polish may just work. Their cover story hides a second task: rooting out Nazi sympathizers in Britain’s highest circles.

But with enemies at every turn, Caitrin can trust no one—not even Hector. When the mission spirals into a life-or-death chase across Europe, the stakes aren’t just jewels or secrets. The fate of nations hangs in the balance.
