Book Description

It's an impossible job, but someone has to do it! As the wind screams by their ears, eight Allied agents – seven men and a woman – parachute onto a mountainside behind enemy lines in wartime Germany. Their mission: to rescue an American general inside an isolated, cliffside castle before the Nazis can force him to reveal secret D-Day plans. "A real dazzler of a thriller, with vivid action, fine set pieces of suspense, and a virtuoso display of startling plot twists."
