Overview

Summer, 1965. The trap is set for Annabel Staple to catch a spy. When former MI6 operative Rosemary Hutton invites Annabel Staple and her partner at Stanhope & Baxter, Ferdy Baxter, to a quiet weekend gathering at Ferdy's estranged father's country house, it seems like a simple surveillance job: identify a possible spy among the guests and report back. But the assignment quickly turns into something far more sinister. The guest list includes Ferdy's sister Dorothy, and when her diamond engagement ring goes missing, old wounds are reopened. As tempers flare beneath the summer sun, the situation escalates - culminating in murder. With no one able to leave and trust in short supply, Annabel must untangle a web of lies, old grudges and dangerous secrets. But time is running out - and the killer is determined to keep their secrets hidden at any cost. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Sophie Hannah and Reverend Richard Coles, The Omega Trap is the second in the gripping Annabel Staple Mystery series set in the swinging sixties. Book 3 in the Annabel Staple Mystery series coming soon!
