Jackdaws

May 1944, two weeks before D-Day... The French Resistance attacks a Nazi communication centre pivotal to the German defence of the Channel coast, but the chateau is heavily guarded and the attack fails disastrously. The mission needs to be completed, so Flick Clairet, a young British secret agent, proposes a daring new plan. She will parachute into France with the'Jackdaws', an all-female team of secret agents, and they will penetrate the chateau in disguise. But, unknown to Flick, a brilliant, ruthless Intelligence colonel has been assigned to crush the Resistance. And he is hot on Flick's trail… A frantically fast-paced novel about love, courage, sex and revenge, Jackdaws builds tension and excitement until the very last page.
