"For years Katharine Alfurd had lived alone. but after a few gins and tonic at the village pub she liked to talk about the past...
Forty years before, when she was young and beautiful, Katharine Alfurd had been sent into Occupied France, to join the Resistance in their deadly struggle against the Nazis, and to help prepare for the Normandy landings.
There she had fallen in love with Jean Dulac, the dashing leader of a small underground group. And there too, she had encountered Standartenfuhrer Christine Eilenburg...
Now Katharine must confront her most painful memories, and decide whether to expose the treachery that threatened her Resistance comrades all those years ago." - jacket notes
Not bad, rather like a classic Helen MacInnes show more espionage thriller. show less
