THE ENGLISH AGENT

THE ENGLISH AGENT Having suffered a traumatic experience in the Blitz, Edie feels utterly disillusioned with life in wartime London. The chance to work with the Secret Operations Executive (SOE) helping the resistance in Paris offers a fresh start. Codenamed ‘Yvette', she's parachuted into France and met by the two other members of her SOE cell. Back in London, Vera desperately needs to be made a UK citizen to erase the secrets of her past. Being in charge of SOE agents presents an opportunity for blackmail. But when she loses contact with one agent in the field, codenamed Yvette, her loyalties are torn.
This gripping novel deftly interweaves the linked stories of two women dealing with life-threatening danger at the height of World War Two.
