Downtown Abbey meets John le Carré in this slow-burn thriller with an explosive conclusion.
In pre-WWII Britain, the servants of a manor house uncover a Nazi plot among their blueblood nobility. What unfolds is a class-warfare spy thriller, available for the first time as an original graphic novel!
Great Britain, 1935: Clara Cardinal made the unlikely social climb from simple housemaid to Lady of the house, but the death of her husband threatens to cast her back to her humble beginnings. But fate seems to throw her a lifeline when she is approached by a man who reveals that her late husband was in British Intelligence and offers her an unlikely mission: run the household of “Tradecraft Manor,” a secretive estate where the British Crown trains elite spies in preparation for the impending war with Germany.
However, when Clara uncovers treachery and Nazi sympathy in the ranks of the privileged lords, she drafts the servants of the Manor to spy on the spies in a dangerous cat-and-mouse game that erupts as bluebloods and blue-collars fight for the future of Britain on the eve of World War II.
Writer Alejandro Arbona (Lake Yellowwood Slaughter) and veteran comic artist Leandro Fernandez (The Old Guard) deliver a historical spy thriller that delivers mystery, intrigue, and an explosive finale that must be seen to be believed.
