"1940: Weeks after the evacuation of Dunkirk, Germany is poised to invade a near-defenseless Britain.

Battling enemies within and without, Caitrin wonders if anyone in their circle can be trusted--even her partner. And when unexpected events catapult her into a life-or-death chase across the continent, the morale of a nation and the fate of Europe itself in the balance."--
