Opis

FROM THE BLOODY BEACHES OF TARAWA to the secret sanctums of U.S. Intelligence in Washington comes a story of two lovers torn apart by the violence of war. When Nanette Guthrie is notified by the War Department that her husband Nick has been killed in action in the South Pacific, she quits her comfortable job as a school teacher and throws herself into the war effort, determined to avenge her husband's death and in her own way to finish the job he started, unaware that she has set herself upon a course that may well end in her death. Set against the backdrop of World War II on the eve of the invasion of Europe, this is a tale of romance, of vengeance and intrigue, espionage, murder, and love unrequited, of black marketeers and of German agents posing as patriots and an American spymaster whose only allegiance is to himself.
