About this book

England, 1940. Paris has fallen to the Third Reich, and invasion seems imminent. Farmer John Cook and society heiress Lady Margaret have prepared for the moment they must disappear into the woods and fields to carry out their top-secret orders to resist a Nazi occupation of British soil. Their fears materialize when a parachutist drops from a German bomber during an air raid. Cook discovers white silk caught in a branch and a mysterious crate containing complex machinery, but the spy has vanished. That night, Cook and Margaret hear German voices in the darkness. Reports spread of others hearing similar sounds, and whispers emerge of an agent from Berlin. With enemies already hidden among them, Cook and Margaret must decide how far they will go to protect their country and the people they love.
