Summer 1943; an undercover mission to occupied France…
Rosie Ewing is an agent of SOE - Special Operations Executive - and a ‘pianist’: Resistance slang for radio operator. Their average life expectancy is six weeks.
But Rosie is brighter than most, well-aware of the consequences of a second’s carelessness, or bad luck, or treachery. Or a fellow agent crumbling under torture, naming names.
Her brief is to set up a new network in Rouen, where the old one has been blown and an agent is suspected of betrayal. If she gets there, that is. Landing from a gunboat on the Brittany coast, she must to travel to Paris - carrying forged papers, a radio transceiver and more than a million francs in cash…
Frighteningly realistic, unbearably exciting, the Rosie Ewing Spy Thrillers are perfect for fans of Philip Kerr, Ian Fleming and John Le Carré.
