False Hope and Fascism

January 1941.

A medical experiment is about to take place at the Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford and SIS fear that there is a German sympathiser among the staff. Worried that British secrets might be leaked to the Germans, they send in a team of undercover agents, including Klaus, former Wehrmacht soldier and now a leading British agent. Accompanied by fellow agents Gertrude Baxter and Arthur Mann, Klaus must guard the medical experiment from the confines of a bed, while Arthur finds himself torn between his sexual leanings and his national loyalties.

In France, Josef Bierstein, Jew and Resistance leader, is confronted by an old love and convinced into helping her save her brother from the Gestapo. Faced with an almost impossible challenge, but governed by his honour towards a promise, Josef finds himself having to embroil people he barely trusts into an audacious scheme to raid Gestapo headquarters. But there is betrayal in the air and the plot could destroy the whole Resistance in Rouen.

Far away in snowy Scotland, Charlotte is onto her next stage of SOE training. But an outbreak of flu, coupled with some bad choices, lead to discord that splits the trainees apart. And when a man is badly hurt there are rumours of murder. Charlotte has to work out who she really trusts and how important it is to her to get back to France and rejoin the fight for her country's freedom.

Once more the lives of three very different people must come together as they fight against the Nazi regime.
