Beschreibung

<p><b>When the whole world is lying, someone must tell the truth.</b><br> <b><br> Berlin, 1943. </b>A group of high-society anti-Nazi dissenters meet for a tea party one late summer afternoon. They do not know that, sitting around the table, is someone poised to betray them all to the Gestapo - revealing their secret to the Nazis' most ruthless detective.<br><br> They form a circle of unlikely rebels, drawn from the German elite: two countesses, a diplomat, an intelligence officer, an ambassador's widow and a pioneering headmistress. Meeting in the shadows, rescuing Jews or plotting for a future Germany freed from the Führer's rule, what unites them is a shared loathing of the Nazis, a refusal to bow to Hitler and the courage to perform perilous acts of resistance. Or so they believe.<br><br> How did a group of brave, principled rebels, who had successfully defied Adolf Hitler for more than a decade, come to fall into such a lethal trap? And who betrayed them?<br><br> Undone from within and pursued to near-destruction by one of the Reich's cruellest men, they showed a heroism that raises a question with new urgency for our time: what kind of person does it take to risk everything and stand up to tyranny?</p><p><b>PRAISE FOR <i>THE ESCAPE ARTIST</i>:</b></p><p>'Thrilling' Daily Mail<br>'Gripping' Guardian<br>'Heartwrenching' Yuval Noah Harari<br>'Magnificent' Philip Pullman<br>'Excellent' Sunday Times<br>'Inspiring' Daily Mail<br>'An immediate classic' Antony Beevor<br>'Awe inspiring' Simon Sebag Montefiore<br>'Shattering' Simon Schama<br>'Utterly compelling' Philippe Sands<br>'A must-read' Emily Maitlis<br>'Indispensable' Howard Jacobson</p>
