In his own bestselling tradition of Eye of the Needle and The Key
to Rebecca, Ken Follett delivers a breathtaking novel of suspense
set in the most dangerous days of World War II. D-Day is
approaching. They don't know where or when, but the Germans know
it'll be soon, and for Felicity "Flick" Clariet, the stakes have
never been higher. A senior agent in the ranks of the Special
Operations Executive (SOE) responsible for sabotage, Flick has
survived to become one of Britain's most effective operatives in
Northern France. She knows that the Germans' ability to thwart the
Allied attack depends upon their lines of communications, and in
the days before the invasion no target is of greater strategic
importance than the largest telephone exchange in Europe. But when
Flick and her Resistance-leader husband try a direct, head-on
assault that goes horribly wrong, her world turns upside down. Her
group destroyed, her husband missing, her superiors unsure of her,
her own confidence badly shaken, she has one last chance at the
target, but the challenge, once daunting, is now near impossible.
The new plan requires an all-woman team, none of them
professionals, to be assembled and trained within days. Code-named
the Jackdaws, they will attempt to infiltrate the exchange under
the noses of the Germans-but the Germans are waiting for them now
and have plans of their own. There are secrets Flick does not
know-secrets within the German ranks, secrets among her hastily
recruited team, secrets among those she trusts the most. And as the
hours tick down to the point of no return, most daunting of all,
there are secrets within herself. . . . Filled with the powerful
storytelling, unforgettable characters, and authentic detail that
have become his hallmarks, Jackdaws is Ken Follett writing at the
height of his powers.
