Meer over het boek
D-Day is approaching, and for Felicity “Flick” Clairet, a senior agent in the Special Operations Executive (SOE), the stakes are higher than ever. Tasked with sabotage in Northern France, she understands that the Germans' ability to thwart the Allied invasion hinges on their communication lines, particularly the largest telephone exchange in Europe. After a disastrous direct assault with her Resistance-leader husband leaves her group destroyed and him missing, Flick's confidence is shaken, and her superiors are uncertain of her capabilities. She faces one last chance to target the exchange, but the challenge has escalated. Now, she must assemble and train an all-woman team, the Jackdaws, within days. These recruits are not professionals, and they will attempt to infiltrate the exchange while the Germans are on high alert. As the countdown to the invasion begins, Flick discovers hidden secrets—within the German ranks, among her hastily gathered team, and even within herself. With time running out, she must confront these secrets to succeed in her mission and reclaim her purpose.
