About this listen

February, 1944. A bitter winter grips occupied France, where Marc Reece leads a circuit of British agents risking their lives in order to sabotage the German war effort from within. But Reece has a second mission, secret even from his fellow agents - including Charlotte, the woman with whom he has ill-advisedly fallen in love. He must secure a document identifying a German spy at the heart of British intelligence. The fate of the Allied forces on D-Day is in his hands.

But when his circuit is ambushed - with fatal consequences - Reece realises there may be a traitor in its ranks, putting everything they've been fighting for at risk. Then Charlotte goes missing. Is she in danger, or has Reece been betrayed by the only person he thought he could trust? And with the clock ticking towards D-Day, can he find the truth before it's too late?

A gripping and atmospheric thriller inspired by true events, this is the story of a deadly game of espionage, destined to change the course of the most crucial battle in the Second World War.

Fast paced, great characters, twisting plot. I will be looking at more books by this author.
Fabulous narration as always by Jonathan Keeble.

Not my usual type of book but loved it

This has been an amazing story. Full of twists and turns, highs and lows. The narration brought everything to life. I felt I was taken back to 1944 (or at least watching and old movie). The combination of a great story and fantastic read made this a compelling listen. Highly recommended.

Amazing story and narration

I admit to half listening at times as, although fast paced and description good, it just went on too long for me. Narration a bit shouty at times but it is an action book so maybe it had to be and just not to my taste.

Bit too convoluted for me

Keeble is king as far as I’m concerned.

But this was a fantastic, fast paced WW2 thriller.

We’ll done Gareth, loved it!

A really great read

Enjoyable and well researched story with a twist in the tale. One of the better plots in this genre.
