*** THE TOP TEN BESTSELLING AUTHOR *** Discover a brilliant story
of love, danger, courage and betrayal, from the internationally
bestselling author of The Survivors. 1953, the South of France. The
fragile peace between the West and Soviet Russia hangs on a knife
edge. And one family has been torn apart by secrets and conflicting
allegiances. Eloise Caussade is a courageous young Frenchwoman,
raised on a bull farm near Arles in the Camargue. She idolises her
older brother, Andre, and when he leaves to become an Intelligence
Officer working for the CIA in Paris to help protect France, she
soon follows him. Having exchanged the strict confines of her
father's farm for a life of freedom in Paris, her world comes
alive. But everything changes when Andre is injured - a direct
result of Eloise's actions. Unable to work, Andre returns to his
father's farm, but Eloise's sense of guilt and responsibility for
his injuries sets her on the trail of the person who attempted to
kill him. Eloise finds her hometown in a state of unrest and
conflict. Those who are angry at the construction of the American
airbase nearby, with its lethal nuclear armaments, confront those
who support it, and anger flares into violence, stirred up by
Soviet agents. Throughout all this unrest, Eloise is still
relentlessly hunting down the man who betrayed her brother and his
country, and she is learning to look at those she loves and at
herself with different eyes. She no longer knows who she can trust.
Who is working for Soviet Intelligence and who is not? And what
side do her own family lie on? Further praise for Kate Furnivall's
