Finding skills and courage he thought unimaginable, the young Frenchman rebuilds the network around Le Mans, leading teams in devastating attacks on vital installations. Then he is betrayed. Home turf is the setting for his final mission, one so vital that failure will cost Britain the war. And then he is betrayed again. Will he return home to the woman he loves?Explosive action and nail-biting suspense intermingle with tenderness, passion and warmth that will keep the pages turning and the bedside light burning until the wee small hours.
