"D day is approaching. They don't know where or when, but the Germans
know it'll be soon, and for Felicity "Flick" Clairet, the stakes have
never been higher. A senior agent in the ranks of the Special Operations
Executive (SOE) responsible for sabotage, Flick has survived to become
one of Britain's most effective operatives in northern France. She knows
that the Germans' ability to thwart the Allied attack depends upon
their lines of communication, and in the days before the invasion, no
target is of greater strategic importance than the largest telephone
exchange in Europe." But when Flick and her Resistance leader husband
try a direct, head-on assault that goes horribly wrong, her world turns
upside down. Her group destroyed, her husband missing, her superiors
unsure of her, her own confidence badly shaken, she has one last chance
at the target, but the challenge, once daunting, is now near-impossible.
The new plan requires an all-woman team, none of them professionals, to
be assembled and trained within days. Codenamed the Jackdaws, they will
attempt to infiltrate the exchange under the noses of the Germans - but
the Germans are waiting for them now and have plans of their own. There
are secrets Flick does not know - secrets within the German ranks,
secrets among her hastily-recruited team, secrets among those she trusts
the most. And as the hours tick down to the point of no return, most
daunting of all, there are secrets within herself.
