The Bravest Hour

By Anna Lee Huber

Book Overview

British Intelligence Agent Verity Kent managed to survive four years of The Great War, slipping in and out of German-occupied Belgium and northeastern France, dodging serious consequences or capture. But as she faces her most dangerous-and devastating-challenge yet, her luck may have run out. Hopefully, her resilience has not . . . November 1920. Dublin, Ireland. Verity's efforts to foil a contemptible plot by the traitorous Lord Ardmore and save countless lives-as well as the British government's reputation-has exposed her to detrimental scrutiny, bringing her contact with the Irish rebels to light. Crushingly, she finds herself incarcerated in Dublin Castle, the "Dread Bastille," where she must withstand interrogation from her own countrymen. Despite her circumstances, Verity knows better than to talk-though decrying Ardmore to his face would be more than satisfying. For once again he has escaped culpability, scapegoating his associates. Her only hope is intervention from her shadowy superior. And yet, when rescue finally comes, Verity finds herself changed by what she has endured, perhaps for the worst. Still, there's no time for respite or healing. Ardmore's latest nefarious objectives go beyond mere treason. Allegiances are shifting as the war between the Irish Republican Army and the British reaches a new fever pitch. If Ardmore is to be brought down, Verity and her husband, Sidney, must gather all the allies they can for one last stand. But just when victory seems assured, one shocking and vicious turn of events changes everything. Now Verity must decide where her loyalty lies. And it may not be on the same side as the man she's loved to the grave and back.

Can you trust your country?

I received this book from the author with no expectations of a positive review. Wow! This is the first book that I have read of Ms. Huber. I was blown away with the detailed history of the conflict between the British and the Irish as they fought for independence from the British rule. Verity Kent is being brought to the Castle by her own British government. She is held and questioned. Once she is released on conditions including she cannot leave the country. Join Verity and her husband Sidney as they walk the tight wire of consciousness and duty to their country. This will not be the last book I read by Ms. Huber.
