Summary
Lane Mercer, sent to Longview, Texas, in July, 1942, is part of a select group of women working undercover for a fledgling federal agency, the Office of Strategic Services. Assigned to protect the man carrying out President Roosevelt's initiative to build the nation's first overland pipeline to hurry East Texas crude to the troops, she discovers there is more to Longview than the dossiers implied. There is intrigue, mayhem, and danger.
Shamed from a botched OSS mission in France, Lane struggles to fulfill her commitment in Longview and keep from drowning in guilt. Getting involved in local life is out of the question. Between family, do-gooders, and Nazi threats, she becomes knitted into a series of events that unravel all of her carefully constructed plans, revealing that sometimes the life one has to save is one's own.
