“I understand that you wish to return to France,” the man behind the mahogany desk said.
“That’s correct,” I said.
“Your motivation?” he asked, smoothing the corners of his moustache.
“To do my bit for the war effort,” I said, “to defeat the Nazis and to discover what’s happened to my husband.”
“It would be extremely risky,” the officious-looking man said, “suicidal even, for a lone woman to undertake such a venture. However, there is an alternative.”
“Alternative?” I frowned.
“Yes. We’ll parachute you in, as one of our people. Of course, you’d have to undertake training first. Rigorous training. Top secret training. If you fail, I’m afraid it will mean a spell in the cooler, possibly until the war is over.”
“The cooler?”
“But I trust it won’t come to that,” he said, ignoring my question. “When can you start?”
I began immediately. And during my training I met two people who would radically reshape my life - Guy Samson and Mimi Duchamp. I also discovered secrets about myself, abilities beyond my imagination. However, as the training heated up so the situations became all too real, until they reached a point where I had to kill, or be killed.
