Kelly Rimmers scenes in both eras are fraught with anxiety, urging the reader to keep turning the page, anxious to learn about each characters experiences, right up to the very end." - New York Journal of BooksFor fans of fast-paced historical thrillers like Our Woman in Moscow and The Rose Code, Kelly Rimmers dramatic new novel follows two female SOE operatives whose lives will be determined by a double agent in their midst.Twenty-five years after the end of the war, Noah Ainsworth is still preoccupied with those perilous, exhilarating years as a British SOE operative in France. A head injury sustained on his final operation has caused frustrating gaps in his memory-in particular about the agent who saved his life during that mission gone wrong, whose real name he never knew, nor whether she even survived the war.Moved by her fathers frustration, Noahs daughter Charlotte begins a search for answers that resurrects the stories of Chloe and Fleur, the code names for two otherwise ordinary women whose lives intersect in 1943 when theyre called up by the SOE for deployment in France. Taking enormous risks to support the allied troops with very little information or resources, the women have no idea theyre at the mercy of a double agent among them who's causing chaos within the French circuits, whose efforts will affect the outcome of their livesand the war.But as Charlottes search for answers bears fruit, overlooked clues come to light about the identity of the double agent-with unsettling hints pointing close to home-and more shocking events are unearthed from the dangerous, dramatic last days of the war that lead to Chloe and Fleurs eventual fates.For more by Kelly Rimmer, look for The Things We Cannot Say Before I Let You Go Truths I Never Told You The Warsaw Orphan The German Wife
