Spies by Michael Frayn

In the quiet cul-de-sac where Keith and Stephen live, the only immediate signs of the Second World War are the blackout at night and a single random bombsite. But the two boys start to suspect all is not as it seems when one day Keith announces a disconcerting discovery: the Germans have infiltrated his own family. And when the secret underground world they have dreamed up emerges from the shadows, they find themselves engulfed in mysteries far deeper and more painful than they had bargained for.
DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Deeply satisfying.. Frayn has written nothing better' INDEPENDENT 'Bernard Shaw couldn't do it, Henry James couldn't do it, but Michael Frayn does do it: write novels and plays with equal success' JOHN UPDIKE, NEW YORKER 'Spies is a beautifully constructed tale... Martin Jarvis does an excellent job of bringing Frayn's novel to life' TELEGRAPH
Michael Frayn is both a successful novelist and playwright. He has published 13 plays, including NOISES OFF, and his 1999 novel, HEADLONG, was shortlisted for the Booker Prize, the Whitbread Novel Prize and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction.
