The Shadow Historian

A Historical Mystery

By: Lynn Lyon

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

She was trained to find patterns in history. She never expected to find a deadly one hiding in plain sight.

London, 1940. The Blitz has turned the city into a nightly nightmare of fire and destruction. Dr. Evelyn Landon, a historian recruited by the Ministry of Information, spends her days reading civilian diaries, cataloging the fears, hopes, and small rebellions of ordinary Londoners under siege.

It's quiet work. Safe work. Until she notices something impossible.

"Such a shame the roses are wilting early this year."

Roses don't wilt in November. They freeze. And that single wrong detail opens a door Evelyn can never close.

What she discovers will change everything:

• Hidden symbols in the margins of innocent diaries
• A network of spies communicating through coded flowers and fabricated frost
• Enemies who wear friendly faces and who know she's getting close

As Evelyn pieces together the conspiracy, she transforms from observer to target. The people she's hunting are hunting her back. And in a city where anyone could be a traitor, trust is the most dangerous weapon of all.

With only her wits, a reluctant ally, and the skills of a historian trained to read between the lines, Evelyn must expose the network before the next convoy sails, and before she becomes another casualty of the shadow war.

The Shadow Historian is a gripping historical thriller set during Britain's darkest hour, perfect for readers who love strong heroines, wartime intrigue, and the satisfaction of watching a brilliant mind solve an impossible puzzle.

If you loved The Rose Code, The Alice Network, or The Paris Library, you'll be captivated by this atmospheric tale of courage, codes, and the ordinary people who shaped history from the shadows.
