Beschreibung

Can you ever leave your history behind? At the end of the Second World War, Dottie Tanner locked away the past, blocking out the heartache she experienced as a special operative working alongside the Resistance. Sixty years later, Dottie remains independent and proud of everything she has achieved, but time is running out. Watching the V.E Day Celebrations on television reignites a flame. The voice of someone she loved and lost is calling to her. After a lifetime of resisting the lure of France, she decides to face her demons. Taking her granddaughter, Maude, along for company, Dottie's trip down memory lane soon turns into a voyage of discovery that tests lifelong friendships and means facing old foes. Soon, dark secrets are revealed, and a traitor is exposed. But how will Dottie cope when her whole world is turned upside down? Will her final mission be one of revenge or, can she forgive and forget?

Autor

Patricia Dixon was born in Manchester where she still lives with her husband. They have two grown up children and one grandson, plus the company of a lazy bulldog. Ignoring her high school reports and possibly sound advice from teachers, Patricia shunned the world of academia and instead, stubbornly pursued a career in fashion. Once the sparkle of London life wore off she returned north and embarked on a new adventure, that of motherhood. Now, almost thirty years later she has acquiesced to the wise words of her elders and turned her hand to writing. Patricia has written five novels set in the Loire and then, in complete contrast, a much darker story of psychological suspense. She is currently writing her next book, a murderous tale set in the sixties and if she¿s not at her desk Patricia loves to read historical fiction or attempts recipes that look great on television but not necessarily her plate. And when the penny jar is full she cashes in her coins and heads to France, the lure of red wine and escapism equalled only by the pursuance of her dream job, writing for a living.
