Into the Fire
About this book
The first thriller in the WWII series featuring SOE agent Rosie Ewing, a "meticulously researched war novel" (
Len Deighton).
Â
Summer 1943: Rosie Ewing is an agent of SOE—Special Operations Executive—and a "pianist," Resistance slang for radio operator. Their average life expectancy is six weeks.
Â
But Rosie is brighter than most, well aware of the consequences of a second's carelessness, or bad luck, or treachery. Or a fellow agent crumbling under torture, naming names.
Her brief is to set up a new network in occupied Rouen, where the old one has been blown and an agent is suspected of betrayal. If she gets there, that is. Landing from a gunboat on the Brittany coast, she must travel to Paris—carrying forged papers, a radio transceiver, and more than a million francs in cash . . .
Frighteningly realistic, unbearably exciting, the Rosie Ewing spy thrillers come from Alexander Fullerton, acclaimed for his "talent for combining historical fact with rousing fiction" ( Publishers Weekly).
Â
"The tension rarely slackens and the setting is completely convincing." — The Times Literary Supplement
Â
"His action passages are superb." — The Observer
