The second in the highly praised Emily Grey series

‘Emily Grey proves so engaging that I hope she’ll keep going into the Cold War’, JakeKerridge, Daily Telegraph

At the height of the First World War, Emily Grey finds herself far away from the action, collating Swiss rubber imports in a hut in the middle of St James’ Park. Summoned to MI6’s Whitehall headquarters, Emily learns that her talent for languages is needed elsewhere and she is despatched to Bern to debrief Fritz the Ritz, an agent reporting on the wartime activities of German industry.

However, when she discovers that Fritz the Ritz may not be all he claims to be, she is led to the door of an import-export dealership in Lausanne and the unassuming couple who run it. Could they really be at the heart of a network that threatens the lives of millions of Allied soldiers? And, if they are, can Emily, and her ever-eager partner Nigel Nisbet, stop them before they go too far?

With a matchless flair for historical accuracy, psychological acuity and breathtaking adventure, Judd’s latest historical thriller demonstrates once again that he is one of the finest spy novelists writing today and that this series of novels about the origin of MI6 bears comparison with John Le Carre, Patrick O’Brien and Joseph Conrad.

Praise for No. 2 Whitehall Court

‘Judd, a veteran spy novelist and former diplomat, knows his way around Britain’s world of shadows. He takes the reader straight back to the start of the first world war and the long, smoke-filled, gloomy corridors of Whitehall ministries.’ Financial Times
‘Veteran spy writer Alan Judd eschews easy drama and obvious cliffhangers in this elegantly written novel.’ Literary Review
‘A masterful storyteller with an intricate knowledge of his subject’ The Daily Telegraph
