Description

US Army detective Billy Boyle investigates a mysterious murder in a Normandy farmhouse that threatens Allied operations. In July 1944, just a month after D-Day, an American officer is found dead in a manor house serving as an advance headquarters outside the town of Trévières. The investigation is shrouded in secrecy due to the sensitive nature of the unit headquartered nearby: the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops, also known as the Ghost Army. This unique unit impersonates other US Army units using radio traffic, dummy inflatable vehicles, and sound effects, creating deceptions that can turn the tide of war decisively against the Allies. Billy must tread carefully to unmask the murder while safeguarding the secret of the Ghost Army, a revelation that could have far-reaching consequences for the Allied forces.
