COURIER
The True Story of World War II's Most Highly Decorated Woman
From internationally bestselling author Larry Loftis comes the extraordinary adventure and love story of Odette Sansom, a heroic British female spy captured and tortured alongside her fellow spy and lover Peter Churchill behind enemy lines during World War II - for fans of Code Girls and Irena's Children.
The Courier is the true adventure and love story of World War II British spies Odette Sansom and Peter Churchill, and the cunning German secret police - officer Sergeant Hugo Bleicher - who chased them.
The year is 1942, and World War II is in full swing. Odette Sansom leaves her three children and follows in her war hero father's footsteps to become an SOE agent and aid her country during the war funneling German secrets. Five failed attempts and one plane crash later, she finally lands in occupied France to begin her mission. It was here that she meets her commanding officer Captain Peter Churchill.
As they completed mission after mission, Peter and Odette grow close, and fall in love. All the while, they are being tracked down by the ruthless German secret police sergeant, Hugo Bleicher, who finally succeeds in capturing them and throwing them into separate concentration camps. There, they are starved, beaten, and tortured. But in the face of despair, they never give up hope.
In The Courier, Loftis shares a story of true courage, patriotism, and love - of two incredibly heroic people who endured unimaginable horrors and sacrifices. He weaves together the romance between Odette and Peter with the thrilling cat and mouse game that occurs between the agents and Sergeant Bleicher. Perfect for readers of Laura Hillenbrand's Unbroken, this biography is a stunning tribute to an impressive forgotten figure, and a thrilling testament to the human spirit.
