<b>'An espionage story of high literary calibre' </b><i>Strong Words Magazine</i><br><b>'A dramatic and thoroughly immersive account of loyalty, ideology and betrayal'</b> <i>Guardian</i><br><b>'A terrific new voice in spy fiction...A complex, action packed portrait of a continent in ferment' </b><i>Mail on Sunday</i><br><b>'In remarkably granular detail, Worrall conjures up a Fifties Paris where historical and fictional characters coexist</b>' <i>Sunday Times</i><br><b>________________</b><br><br><b>It's 1951 and the servants of Stalin are closing in on the occupied nations of eastern Europe. As the Red Army tightens the net, Greta - best and bravest of freedom fighters - is told to escape to the West and undertake a dangerous mission.</b><br><br>Greta's task is to find a missing girl: the precious daughter of a partisan general who was sent into exile in the final days of the war.<br><br>But the so-called Free World is no place for vulnerable young refugees. Europe is in ruins, the old Empires are dying, and a spectacular cast of spivs, gangsters and rival intelligence agencies are fighting over the scraps.<br><br>Crossing the Iron Curtain will require nerves of steel as Greta faces down the French mob, ex-Nazis, Soviet spies, all the glamour and temptation of Paris and ultimately, her own demons.<br><br><i>The Exile</i> is the stunning prequel to <i>The Partisan</i>, Patrick Worrall's critically-acclaimed debut, which introduced the world to the force of nature that is Greta.
