Early spring 1944, occupied France. SOE agent and explosives expert, Marie-Louise, has withdrawn from the British network and local resistance activity, seeking anonymity in the rural heart of the Dordogne. But the war refuses to let her go. When violence and betrayal spread beyond Bordeaux, she is forced to confront the truth she can no longer ignore: neutrality is an illusion.
And as the Nazi grip on Bordeaux tightens, British wireless operator, Jack Ward, is pushed to the brink; hunted, wounded and betrayed from within the shadows of the Resistance itself. Each transmission to London risks not only his life, but the life of everyone connected with him. As the Gestapo closes in on Jack, ‘the foreigner’, and things begin to go horribly wrong, it is clear that someone from the shadows of the resistance is whispering into Fischer’s ear.
From Gestapo interrogation cells to convent safe houses, from villages and farms to Maquis forest hideouts, from Poitiers to the Pyrenees, The Bordeaux Betrayals is a fast paced, gripping story of courage under occupation, moral compromise, and the devastating cost of resistance.
Based on real events and the actual agents who operated in Bordeaux during WW2, this meticulously researched novel continues the complicated wartime lives of Ralph, Emilie, Eve, Marie-Louise and Jack, in the build up by local resistance groups prior to and immediately after D Day.
Perfect for lovers of The Nightingale, The After Dunkirk series and Kate Quinn.
