When the whole world is lying, someone must tell the truth.<BR> <BR> Berlin, 1943. 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?<BR><BR>PRAISE FOR THE ESCAPE ARTIST:<BR><BR>'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
