"The history of a country under siege is the backdrop for this story of Liz Grainger, an Englishwoman, who is being recruited by a British intelligence agency during the height of World War II. Since the Armed Forces have been reduced by German counter-intelligence activities, it has become imperative to gather civilian volunteers to work with the Resistance forces in occupied France. The agents are trained and deployed into service by Colonel James Cadogan, who will use any means necessary to meet the primary needs of his organization: to transmit vital information on German activities to the intelligence network in London. Liz, in her role with the Resistance, finds espionage, romance, intrigue, suspense and betrayal all intertwined with the ultimate goal - the liberation of France from Germany."--Container.
