What to expect
‘A woman can get more information about German supply lines and replacements than a man with a knife to a soldier’s throat…’
Germany, 1944
Best friends Viv Allen and Junie Knight are drawn into the covert world of America’s Morale Operations Branch, a dark propaganda campaign designed to sow doubt among German soldiers.
Their first mission sends them deep into enemy territory, but when the pursuit of a dangerous SS officer goes disastrously wrong, the fallout irreparably fractures their friendship.
America, 1955
Now a housewife, Viv has spent years quietly waiting for a chance to make things right with Junie.
When the opportunity at redemption arises, Viv finds herself caught between suburban life and international espionage. To save her friendship, she must confront her past and risk everything she holds close.
