The new plan requires an all-woman team, none of them professionals, to be assembled and trained within days. A senior agent in the ranks of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) responsible for sabotage, Flick has survived to become one of Britain’s most effective operatives in Northern France. Her group destroyed, her husband missing, her superiors unsure of her, her own confidence badly shaken, she has one last chance at the target, but the challenge, once daunting, is now near impossible. There are secrets Flick does not know—secrets within the German ranks, secrets among her hastily recruited team, secrets among those she trusts the most. D-Day is approaching. Code-named the Jackdaws, they will attempt to infiltrate the exchange under the noses of the Germans—but the Germans are waiting for them now and have plans of their own. They don’t know where or when, but the Germans know it’ll be soon, and for Felicity “Flick” Clariet, the stakes have never been higher. And as the hours tick down to the point of no return, most daunting of all, there are se

The story line - switching back and forth from the German agents and the Jackdaws - kept me involved and interested in all parts of their story. Thank you for making history come alive!!!. Cristina Nealon said My favorite writer!. Ken Follett is my favorite! I really enjoy reading his books, his historical fiction is the best and I highly recommend it. A group of British women spies travel to France to fight against the nazis…you cannot put it down! Once you star reading you get hooked and you must read non-stop. My husband has become interested and Ken Follett has a "new fan!"
