THE GRIPPING WWII ESPIONAGE THRILLER ABOUT SURVIVAL, TRUST AND A
DEADLY BATTLE FOR THE TRUTH . . . 'Races along, with plenty of
surprises' Times 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 realizes 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.
'Exhaustively researched, superbly realised, The Winter Agent is a
superior SOE novel. Gareth Rubin really knows his stuff and it
shows on every page' Howard Linskey 'Smart, stylish, meticulously
researched. Rich in loyalty and double dealing, captures perfectly
the horror and heroism, delivered at a cracking pace' Sun
'Brilliant. Blends meticulously researched history with a plot of
double-crossing and deception' Best
