Operation Moonlight by Louise Morrish

30 March 2023 By Editor

Buy Operation Moonlight by Louise Morrish

Wartime France, 1944.

Trust absolutely no-one.

This is the only advice newly recruited SOE agent Elisabeth Shepherd is given when faced with the impossible.

Her mission: to enter Nazi-occupied France and monitor the Germans’ deadly long-range missiles.

Guildford, 2018, and Betty is celebrating her 100th birthday when she receives an invite from the Century Society to reminisce on the past.

She remains mysteriously tight-lipped about her past, however.

And then her carer, Tali, discovers a box full of maps, letters and a gun…

Operation Moonlight by Louise Morrish is published in paperback on 30 March, 2023.

Louise has written about the daring leap of faith she made to recreate Elisabeth’s experiences in Extreme research: how far should a writer go?
