Sir Alfred Vicary: “a fussy, bookish little man” leader of the task force to expose the German spies and operating a complex system of turned agents delivering false information back to GermanyĬatherine Black (aka Christa Kunst aka Anna Katerina): “strikingly beautiful… she had used her looks as a weapon her entire life.” forced to spy for the Germans to protect her father she uses her beauty and charm to seduce men for information a traumatic childhood experience has enabled her to be the detached killer her job requires
The Germans will do anything to know where the Allies plan to attack and they have the sleeper spies installed in the Allied Forces to obtain such information. Therefore, the secret of D-Day is of utmost importance and must be protected at all costs. It’s WWII on the precipice of D-Day, the turning point in the war. There were a few good parts and interesting themes to think about (see below) and I may try his other series but not really the book I was looking for. The pace picked up in the last 100 pages or so but by then it was too late for me. Which feels abrupt when prior you were privy to some of their thoughts and actions. All of a sudden a few of the main characters are just dead. Then most were only in the book for a short period.Īdd to that I felt there wasn’t much character resolution at the end.
It felt like every chapter introduced another character with a little backstory. This book isn’t technical, but what makes it a bit hard to read are all the characters. It’s possible my expectations were too high based on the source of the recommendation. I met an actual FBI agent on vacation one summer who recommended this author if I was interested in spy thrillers.
