INSPIRED BY THE ROLE SCOTTISH WOMEN PLAYED IN THE COLD WAR DURING THE 1950s, WHITE RAVEN IS A STORY OF LOVE, COURAGE, RESILIENCE - AND BETRAYAL.
Bored with life as a teacher in an Edinburgh girls’ school, artist Rosie recognises Alex Kuznetsov from her previous life as a decoder at Bletchley Park. Alex, a war hero and anti-Soviet intelligence officer, is running a Russian language school to put Britain’s brightest young men through intensive training as intelligence operators in the event of a third world war.
During an ardent courtship, Rosie joins the JSSL as an art teacher, but soon finds there is more to her role as Alex gains her confidence and persuades her to take on an undercover espionage mission in a Highland country house. Rosie discovers that the world of spies is full of treachery, manipulation and deceit, and that what started out as a thrilling game can have deadly consequences.
