A screenshot from Bluesky, showing a post about a dark secret coming back to haunt you - accompanied by a picture of an adorable dog in knitwear, sitting up in bed looking happy. Directly below it is a Canongate post about Alex Preston’s new book, A Stranger in Corfu, which deals with a very similar subject (but with fewer dogs).

Excited to reveal the cover for A Stranger in Corfu - a spy novel with a difference!

Following former MI6 agents, who are living in enforced retirement in Corfu when their pasts come back to haunt them, it’s a vivid reimagining of a true slice of British Intelligence history, told with huge skill.
