'Liked this. Went someway to plugging the ginormous hole that
Philip Kerr's sad passing has left in my life' DERMOT O'LEARY.
Barely half of the Bomber Command's aircrews survive a full tour,
but wireless operator Billy Angell has beaten the odds and
completed his 30th - and final - mission. Now, Billy is due
two-weeks leave, a posting to a training squadron and a six-month
exemption from active duty. Except that MI5 need an airman to drop
into Nazi-occupied France. MI5 are interested in Helene Lafosse, a
Frenchwoman keeping unusual company in her small family chateau in
the depths of the Touraine. Helene has begun an affair with a
senior Abwehr intelligence officer, who, in return, has turned a
blind eye to the succession of Jews, refugees, resistance fighters
and downed Allied airmen to whom she offers shelter. MI5 believe
they can exploit this relationship and plant a false lead about the
anticipated allied invasion of northern France. It falls to Billy,
playing a downed airman, to find Helene, to win her confidence and
to plant a lie that will only make sense to her German lover. But
this time, Billy isn't flying at 20,000 feet and he won't be able
to escape the incendiary consequences of his actions. 'Hurley's
capable and understated characterization makes his lead's story
plausible and engaging' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY.
