Liberation by Imogen Kealey

26 March 2020 By Editor

Buy Liberation by Imogen Kealey (Imogen Robertson and Darby Kealey)

A thriller inspired by the true story of Nancy Wake, whose husband was kidnapped by the Nazis and who became the most decorated servicewoman of the Second World War.

To the Allies she was a fearless freedom fighter, special operations super spy, a woman ahead of her time.

To the Gestapo she was a ghost, a shadow, the most wanted person in the world with a five-million-franc bounty on her head.

Now, for the first time, the roots of her legend are told in a thriller about one woman’s incredible quest to turn the tide of the war, save the man she loves and take brutal revenge on those who have wronged her.

Liberation by Imogen Kealey (Imogen Robertson and Darby Kealey) is published on 26 March, 2020.

Imogen is chair of the HWA and has co-written with other authors, including Wilbur Smith, as well as being the sole author of the Crowther and Westerman series and the stand-alone The Paris Winter.
