About this listen

 'A masterpiece' SARAH JONES

'Another soon-to-be classic' Woman's Day

'Riveting and moving' The Australian Women's Weekly

Twenty-five years after the end of the war, ageing British SOE operative Noah Ainsworth can't stop thinking about the secret agent who saved his life in occupied France. He never knew her real name, nor whether she survived the war.

His daughter Charlotte begins a search for answers and discovers the story of Fleur and Chloe: two women called up by the SOE for deployment in France in 1943. But little do they know that they're at the mercy of a double agent within their ranks who is wreaking chaos. As Charlotte's search for answers continues, unsettling clues about the identity of the double agent come to light - and more shocking events are unearthed from the dangerous, dramatic last days of the war that lead to Chloe and Fleur's eventual fates.

'The author's research has captured the tension that those who lived through that time experienced at deep levels. Kelly Rimmer's scenes in both eras are fraught with anxiety, urging the reader to keep turning the page, anxious to learn about each character's experiences, right up to the very end' New York Journal of Books

Extremely Brave

Compelling, an axtraordinary period of chaos, violence & destruction in many forms...precipitated by a man so certain of his own 'rightness' & willing to subjugate all who stand in his pathway to world dominance. It remains a repeated scenario throughout history to this day. this is one powerful story of a woman who chose to attempt to divert the outcome.

Really good job of bringing past and present together. We've heard/seen many war stories but this one lets us meet individual lives and their impact. I got more absorbed as the story went on.

This book is incredibly well researched, written and told. What a horrific life women as SOE had. I can't imagine the persecution they went through by the Germans. I had no idea
