Summary
Paris, 1943. The swastika flies from the top of the Eiffel Tower. Soldiers clad in field grey patrol the streets. Buildings have been renamed, books banned, art stolen and people disappeared.
Amongst the missing is an Allied intelligence cell. Gone to ground? Betrayed? Dead? Britain's Special Operations Executive need to find out. They recruit ex-Parisian and Bletchley Park codebreaker Harry Mitchell to return to the city he fled two years ago.
Mitchell knows occupied Paris - a city at war with itself. Informers, gangsters, collaborators and Resistance factions are as ready to slit each other's throats as they are the Germans'. The occupiers themselves are no better: the Gestapo and the Abwehr - military intelligence - are locked in their own lethal battle for dominance.
Mitchell knows the risks: a return to Paris not a mission - it's a death sentence. But he has good reason to put his life on the line: the wife and daughter he was forced to leave behind have fallen into the hands of the Gestapo, and Mitchell will do whatever it takes to save them.
But with disaster afflicting his mission from the outset, it will take all his ingenuity, all his courage, to even get into Paris...unaware that every step he takes towards the capital is a step closer to a trap well set and baited.

Cliché - a book of........
The story you've heard dozens of times before, cliché after cliché easy to second guess what's on the next page and where the hero is going...... Did make me think of the French people and those who collaborated and what happened to them after the war.

Great Story - some inaccuracies
Overall I found the book well written, interesting and very well narrated. I looked forward to being able to listen again - a sure sign that I was engaged. My view with books is that it will be as accurate as the author can make it with the time available for research. I am sure many crime books have police officers exclaiming that it would just not have happened like that - just as myself being an ex-military person is sometimes jarred at how forces personnel operate. Mostly I just gloss over but there were a couple on this book which really irritated. As already mentioned there is no way someone from Bletchley Park would be allowed behind the line when their chance of being caught and integrated was very high. It would not have happened. Also none of the agents who were sent over o occupied France seemed to know that there was no milk available in coffee shops and got reported for ordering cafe au lait. I think they may have got that one - but a great play was made of them not knowing. Apart from that I really enjoyed it. Moved along at a good pace and great story.

disappointing
Dragged from half way through, little drama or tension and predictable ending. Narrator did his best but by the end he also seemed tired of the story.

Great book
A great book although there was a few small back ground details about the main character that didn’t sit straight with me. Some really good bits in this book ! Well worth a listen
