found this on my mother-in-law's bookshelf in Sweden, of all places. Once I started reading, I could not put it down. The story is absolutely believable, cleverly woven around true history from WW II Germany and England. After reading it, I was stunned to find almost no information on the internet about the author or the history behind this book. This is a must read for anyone who loves historical fiction.
