John Winn Miller - Miriam In The Shadows

"A taut and compelling example of World War II fiction and a fine historical thriller."-ALAN FURST, New York Times Bestselling Author of Night Soldiers On the eve of D-Day, the fate of the world hangs not on the beaches of Normandy, but deep within a secret Nazi facility in occupied France. Here, in a claustrophobic, slave-driven mine codenamed Noball 109, German scientists are racing to perfect a terror weapon that would render the Allied invasion obsolete: radioactive warheads on V-2 rockets aimed at the heart of London. Enter Miriam Maduro, a ghost haunted by her past. A brilliant and courageous Dutch-Jewish Special Operations Executive agent, she has already been captured, tortured, and escaped the Nazis once. Now, the British pull her from the shadows for an offer she can't refuse: undertake a suicide mission to infiltrate and destroy the rocket facility, and they will guarantee safe passage for her young son and sister to England. For Miriam, it's not about patriotism; it's a mission fueled by a mother's fierce love and a survivor's desperate need for redemption. Running parallel is a story of love and betrayal. Captain Jake Rogers, the American merchant marine who previously rescued Miriam and is the father of her child, is recruited by a charming Ian Fleming for a seemingly simple naval diversion. But treachery turns the mission into a disaster. Rogers is captured by the Germans. The two storylines collide in one heart-stopping moment. Deep undercover, Miriam unfolds a German newspaper and sees Jake's face staring back at her from the front page. She is now faced with an impossible choice: complete her world-saving mission and let the man she loves perish, or risk everything-the war, D-Day, the lives of millions- orchestrate a daring rescue?
