France, 1944, and Agent Kim Maxwell has a new mission. She’s investigating the death of Bernard Leblanc, a local SOE leader. It looks like an accident, but Kim knows better.
Her HQ is the Bistro Le Renard Rouge. The Red Fox. And the chef is none other than her lover and fellow agent Roland, AKA Foxy.
But the Bistro soon attracts the custom of high-ranking German officers. Now Kim and Foxy are surrounded by the enemy, hiding in plain sight.
Then Kim hears whispers of a code name: Enthaupten. Beheading. What are the Nazis planning?
It’s up to her to dig up the truth. But the Nazis’ plot goes deeper than she could have ever imagined. They plan to murder the King of England, and they’re closing in…
Surrounded by spies and double agents, Kim doesn’t know who to trust. She must use all of her wits to outsmart the plotters. The entire war effort is at stake should she fail.
