À propos de cet audio
A sweeping cast of real and fictional characters, The Delilah Enigma captures the triumphs and losses of everyday people serving in WW2. For fans of After Dunkirk, The Rose Code, and When Heroes Flew.
London 1943. The streets teem with refugees and soldiers while double agents circulate among them. Lt. Sarah Leach, code name Delilah, a British Wren officer with MI6, and Robert Johnston, an American lawyer and her OSS counterpart, team up to trade intelligence and sex. Robert is separated from his wife and Sarah has an “understanding” with a British tank commander. At a local pub where they talk shop over wine, their chemistry is unmistakable.
As the story begins where Code Name Delilah ended, Sarah and Robert are tracking the plot among high-ranking German officers to negotiate a separate peace with the Allies while gathering intel from each other on the looming D-Day invasion to feed to their higher ups.
When an SS patrol captures Sarah working with the French Resistance in Normandy, Robert partners with associates at Bletchley Park and a Jewish refugee from Dresden to rescue her. Injured, she returns to duty and Robert but soon learns her old boyfriend, badly wounded in France, is coming home.
Sarah is faced with an even more harrowing mission: choosing between a future with her longtime beau and immediate comfort with Robert. A family tragedy hits the Johnstons, bringing Robert’s wife back to London, looking to restart their marriage. As the war ends, which relationships will endure?
Ce que les critiques en disent
“It’s a terrific read.” (Bayley Silleck, Oscar-nominated filmmaker)
“Donald de Brier's compelling story sweeps the reader from top secret meetings in Whitehall to the battlefields of North Africa, over the bombed-out cities of Germany, and onto the beaches of Normandy.” --Bayley Silleck
