A teenage spy. A Nazi boarding school. The performance of a lifetime.
Sarah has played many roles - but now she faces her most challenging of all. Because there's only one way for a Jewish orphan spy to survive at a school for the Nazi elite. And that's to become a monster like them.
They think she is just a little girl. But she is the weapon they never saw coming...with a mission to destroy them all.
A pulse-pounding, pitch-black Nazi espionage thriller... Killeen sets a cracking pace - and pulls off the risks he takes with breathtaking panache. * The Guardian *
A riveting plot-driven thriller...Sarah's psychological journey is particularly compelling. * The Bookseller *
a thought-provoking and incredibly page-turning debut. * The Irish Times *
I found myself mesmerized by Sarah’s journey into a world of human monsters. Orphan Monster Spy weaves one heroine’s courage through a spectrum of darkness, and the effects resonate long after the final page. * Ryan Graudin, award-winning author of the Wolf By Wolf duology *
Deeply disturbing and chillingly good. * Elizabeth Wein, author of Code Name Verity *
