THE LAST HOPE (Maggie Hope #11) by Susan Elia MacNeal will be released on May 21, 2024 by Bantam.
In the final novel of the series, Maggie Hope travels to neutral Madrid to meet with fashion designer Coco Chanel in an attempt to broker peace between Britain and Germany. Maggie is also tasked with assassinating physicist Werner Heisenberg and prevent him from working on a Nazi-controlled fission bomb. Maggie is willing to meet with Chanel even though she doesn’t believe anything will come of it, but the assassination assignment has her shaken. When Maggie’s partner is murdered shortly after their arrival, Maggie must face the risks of the undercover assignment alone. She doesn’t know who to trust and danger lurks everywhere.
THE LAST HOPE is a very exciting—and final—addition to the Maggie Hope series. Maggie has come a long way since she got her start as Prime Minister Churchill’s secretary at the beginning of World War II. Maggie has grown a lot as a character throughout the series and that continues up through the end of THE LAST HOPE. I’m sorry to see Maggie’s story end.
