Description

US Army Captain Billy Boyle embarks on his seventeenth WWII investigation in Southern France, 1944. His mission is to extract a British Special Operations Executive officer from Crete and take him to France to serve on a security detail to identify fascist sympathizers. However, the situation becomes increasingly complex as Billy realizes how many enemies the officer he must protect has accrued. In the aftermath of the failed Vercors uprising, tensions among Resistance groups are running high, and the mission turns far deadlier than expected. As Billy delves deeper into the case, he crosses paths with Christine Granville, a legendary SOE agent, and the heroic 442nd Regimental Combat Team. With sacrifice and subterfuge at play, Billy must navigate a web of trust and deception to uncover the truth. Will he be able to complete his mission without putting himself in harm's way?
