Description

As World War II reaches a decisive turning point, OSS operative Dick Canidy and his fellow intelligence officers undertake a dangerous campaign of deception designed to mislead Hitler about where the Allied invasion will strike. Their elaborate strategy depends on informants, double agents, and carefully controlled misinformation—but loyalties are uncertain, and a single failure could unravel the entire operation. When a body is discovered off the coast of Spain, the mission takes on an even more perilous dimension, drawing the agents into a maze of espionage, betrayal, and counterintelligence. Combining brisk action with detailed military insight, this installment explores the pressure, sacrifice, and moral ambiguity at the heart of wartime intelligence.
