The new blockbuster thriller from Graham Hurley, The Blood of
Others is part of the SPOILS OF WAR Collection, a thrilling,
beguiling blend of fact and fiction born of some of the most
tragic, suspenseful, and action-packed events of World War II.
Dieppe, August 1942. A catastrophe no headline dared admit. Plans
are underway for the boldest raid yet on Nazi-occupied France. Over
six thousand men will storm ashore to take the port of Dieppe.
Lives will change in an instant – both on the beaches and in
distant capitals. Annie Wrenne, working at Lord Mountbatten’s
cloak-and-dagger Combined Operations headquarters, is privy to the
top secret plans for the daring cross-Channel raid. Young Canadian
journalist George Hogan, protege of influential Lord Beaverbrook,
faces a crucial assignment that will test him to breaking point.
And Abwehr intelligence officer Wilhelm Schultz is baiting a trap
to lure thousands of Allied troops to their deaths… Three lives
linked by Operation Jubilee: the Dieppe Raid, 19 August 1942. Over
six thousand men will storm the heavily defended French beaches.
Less than half of them will make it back alive. The blockbuster
SPOILS OF WAR non-chronological collection features compelling
recurring characters whose fragmented lives mirror the war that
shattered the globe. For fans of Philip Kerr and Robert Harris.
