Graham Hurley's World War II thriller charts the shadowy and often lethal pas de deux between rival Allied and German intelligence services during World War II.
Barely half of the Bomber Command's aircrews survive a full tour, but wireless operator Billy Angell has beaten the odds and completed his 30th and final mission. Now, Billy is due two-weeks leave, a posting to a training squadron and a six-month exemption from active duty.
Except that MI5 need an airman to drop into Nazi-occupied France. MI5 are interested in Hlne Lafosse, a Frenchwoman keeping unusual company in her small family chteau in the depths of the Touraine. Hlne has begun an affair with a senior Abwehr intelligence officer, who, in return, has turned a blind eye to the succession of Jews, refugees, resistance fighters and downed Allied airmen to whom she offers shelter. MI5 believe they can exploit this relationship and plant a false lead about the anticipated allied invasion of northern France.
It falls to Billy, playing a downed airman, to find Hlne, to win her confidence and to plant a lie that will only make sense to her German lover. But this time, Billy isn't flying at 20,000 feet and he won't be able to escape the incendiary consequences of his actions.
Aurore is part of the SPOILS OF WAR Collection, a thrilling, beguiling blend of fact and fiction.
