The Key to Rebecca

Ken Follett delivers a gripping wartime thriller following Nazi spy Alex Wolff as he crosses the brutal Sahara desert toward Cairo in 1942, armed with a copy of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca and deadly intent. Known as the Sphinx to his handlers, Wolff brings ruthless ambition and a trail of violence to a city where the British campaign is crumbling. This masterwork from the bestselling author of The Pillars of the Earth combines espionage, desert survival, and wartime intrigue into a relentless page-turner.
