Summary
 AN IMPOSSIBLE MISSION. A QUEST FOR THE TRUTH. ONLY SHE HAS WHAT IT TAKES . . .

1943, America

SOE's Saffron Courtney is back in New York, but even as she recovers from her mission to Washington, events on the other side of the Atlantic are making her return to England inevitable. The War Office need someone to extract an asset - a Jewish scientist, Caleb Ezra, a man vital to the war effort - from his hideaway on the besieged island of Leros. But first there is a debt to settle, and the mob do not wait - even for a decorated war hero . . .

1946, Kenya

Back in her beloved homeland, and reunited with her lover-now-husband Gerhard von Meerbach, Saffron thinks that she might finally have found the peace that she craves. The war is over. But when she's paid a visit by an English operative who blackmails her with accusations of Gerhard's involvement in Nazi atrocities, Saffron has no choice but to return to the US at his bidding. With not only her life, but her family at stake, Saffron must track down Ezra once more - before it's too late . . .

It's great to see the Courtney story live on and I do hope that David Churchill will be able to generate more Saffron Courtney stories and more stories about the Courtneys.

I've now finished the entire Courtney series, including Crossfire.

As always I'm blown away by the story and even the narration so I eagerly await the next one. Well done and if David can generate more, what a fantastic tribute to Wilbur Smith.

Can't wait for Saffron Courtney next adventure
