The Shadow Network by Deborah Swift

13 February 2024 By Editor

Buy The Shadow Network by Deborah Swift

England, 1942. Having fled Germany after her father was captured by the Nazis, Lilli Bergen is desperate to do something pro-active for the Allies.

So when she’s approached by the Political Warfare Executive, Lilli jumps at the chance. She’s recruited as a singer for a radio station broadcasting propaganda to German soldiers – a shadow network.

But Lilli’s world is flipped upside down when her ex-boyfriend, Bren Murphy, appears at her workplace; the very man she thinks betrayed her father to the Nazis.

Lilli always thought Bren was a Nazi sympathiser – so what is he doing in England supposedly working against the Germans?

Lilli knows Bren is up to something, and must put aside a blossoming new relationship in order to discover the truth. Can Lilli expose him, before it’s too late?

The Shadow Network by Deborah Swift is published on 13 February, 2024.
