A teenage spy. A Nazi boarding school. The performance of a lifetime.

Sarah has played many roles - but now she faces her most challenging of all. Because there's only one way for a Jewish orphan spy to survive at a school for the Nazi elite. And that's to become a monster like them.

They think she is just a little girl. But she is the weapon they never saw coming...with a mission to destroy them all.

Matt Killeen
Matt Killeen was born in Birmingham and, like many of his generation, was absorbed by tales of the war and obsessed with football from an early age. He has had a great many careers - some creative, some involving laser guns - and has made a living as an advertising copywriter, a music and sports journalist and a writer for the LEGO® Company. Orphan, Monster, Spy and Devil, Darling, Spy are his first novels and were inspired, in part, by the young female SOE agents of WWII. He lives near London with his family and now writes full-time.

Show All
A pulse-pounding, pitch-black Nazi espionage thriller... Killeen sets a cracking pace - and pulls off the risks he takes with breathtaking panache.

The Guardian

A riveting plot-driven thriller...Sarah's psychological journey is particularly compelling.

The Bookseller

a thought-provoking and incredibly page-turning debut.

The Irish Times

I found myself mesmerized by Sarah’s journey into a world of human monsters. Orphan Monster Spy weaves one heroine’s courage through a spectrum of darkness, and the effects resonate long after the final page.

Ryan Graudin, award-winning author of the Wolf By Wolf duology

Deeply disturbing and chillingly good.
