Publisher's Synopsis
Liverpool, 1942: 17-year-old Frankie Franconi falls in love with charismatic British officer Nick Harper as quickly and as certainly as the bomb that falls on their shelter. He is impressed by her good looks, intelligence and the fact that, like him, she speaks fluent Italian. When she insists on staying to help rescue others who have been trapped, he realizes that she has courage as well. He gives her a business card with a Baker Street address and suggests she put her skills to good use. Within a month, Frankie has joined the FANYs and started her training. Stationed first in England, then Africa and finally Italy, Frankie and her fellow recruits work tirelessly, decoding messages from agents in the field. But when she signs the Official Secrets Act, she has no idea of the danger, adventure and terrible choices that are in store.
