As American involvement in WW II grew imminent, President Roosevelt
authorized the establishment of the Office of Strategic Services
(OSS), the predecessor of both the CIA and military Special
Operations Forces. Using military cover OSS began building a
clandestine capability to combat the Axis powers, in which
saboteurs, guerillas, commandos, spies and counterintelligence
agents worked behind enemy lines. Captain James Cantrell, a former
Chicago homicide detective, is the leader of a secret intelligence
team for OSS. He is charged with protecting Operation Overlord, the
top-secret Allied plans for invading France, and with ferreting out
Nazi spies who are desperately attempting to uncover these secrets.
With time running out before D-Day, Cantrell must stop a
cunning--and seductive--female Gestapo agent operating in London
from delivering stolen Overlord information in time for Hitler to
reinforce defenses at Normandy. The chase leads him through bomb
ravaged London streets and across the English Channel only hours
behind his prey. Parachuting into France behind enemy lines only
days before the scheduled D-Day landings, his orders are to
assassinate her before she reports to her contact on the French
mainland. The fate of WW II hangs in the balance.
