Marian Sutro is young, idealistic and bi-lingual; the perfect candidate to be recruited, trained and parachuted into occupied France; officially a Resistance courier, her real mission involves a nuclear physicist working in Paris whom she knew as a child. From the big adventure of training to the reality of a country where fear stalks every move, the tension builds unbearably. No one can be trusted. No one. A masterclass in espionage fiction.
