Description
Set against the backdrop of World War II, The Killing Code is a gripping historical mystery that follows Kit Sutherland as she uncovers a sinister serial killer targeting young women in Washington DC.
In 1943, Kit joins Arlington Hall, a secret US Signal Intelligence facility, to help with the war effort. However, her involvement soon extends beyond codebreaking as she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of cat and mouse. With the help of her female colleagues, including Dottie Crockford, Moya Kershaw, and Violet DuLac, Kit must work together to track down the killer and bring them to justice.
As they delve deeper into the case, Kit and her team discover that nothing is as it seems. With their lives under threat, they must navigate a complex web of secrets and lies to uncover the truth behind the gruesome murders.
