A lone agent is sent into occupied Paris to find the mistress of a high-level Nazi officer in this edge-of-your-seat WWII espionage adventure.
When two agents are arrested in Paris, SOE agent Rosie Ewing is sent to rescue them. Also in Paris in the summer of 1945 is a woman called Jacqueline, already known to Rosie and now the mistress of a highly placed SD officer. Rosie’s brief is to find Jacqueline, and through her discover where the two agents are being held—then get them out before they either talk or die.
She needs help from the French Resistance. But both Gaullist and Communist groups are stirring—and at each other’s throats. There are also several exceptionally vicious pro-Nazi groups out there. Rosie is going in solo—and virtually blind . . .
Praise for the Rosie Ewing Spy Thrillers:
