“A nonfiction thriller.”—The Wall Street Journal

From New York Times and international bestselling author of the “gripping” (Michael Connelly, #1 New York Times bestselling author) Into the Lion’s Mouth comes the extraordinary true story of Odette Sansom, the British spy who operated in occupied France and fell in love with her commanding officer during World War II—perfect for fans of Unbroken, The Nightingale, and Code Girls.

The year is 1942, and World War II is in full swing. Odette Sansom decides to follow in her war hero father’s footsteps by becoming an SOE agent to aid Britain and her beloved homeland, France. Five failed attempts and one plane crash later, she finally lands in occupied France to begin her mission. It is here that she meets her commanding officer Captain Peter Churchill.

As they successfully complete mission after mission, Peter and Odette fall in love. All the while, they are being hunted by the cunning German secret police sergeant, Hugo Bleicher, who finally succeeds in capturing them. They are sent to Paris’s Fresnes prison, and from there to concentration camps in Germany where they are starved, beaten, and tortured. But in the face of despair, they never give up hope, their love for each other, or the whereabouts of their colleagues.

In Code Name: Lise, Larry Loftis paints a portrait of true courage, patriotism, and love—of two incredibly heroic people who endured unimaginable horrors and degradations. He seamlessly weaves together the touching romance between Odette and Peter and the thrilling cat and mouse game between them and Sergeant Bleicher. With this amazing testament to the human spirit, Loftis proves once again that he is adept at writing “nonfiction that reads like a page-turning novel” (Parade).

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Code Name: Lise is impossible to put down. Suffused with romance, told with a novelist’s eye for page-turning thrills and the historian’s acumen for facts, Loftis brings to colorful life a hero for our time, Odette Sansom. Like Unbroken and Code Girls, Odette Sansom’s story is epic, intensely personal, emotionally rich, and hard to forget.”

(Doug Stanton)
“[Loftis] creates a readable page-turner about Odette's dangerous missions… A vivid history of wartime heroism.”
"An astonishing story of love, survival, and almost unimaginable courage. Code Name: Lise is non-fiction that reads like a thriller and will keep readers riveted."

(Tilar Mazzeo)
“Code Name: Lise is a grand adventure, part thriller, part love story, and full of wonderful details about the tradecraft of wartime espionage and the bravery of unsung heroes. A remarkable achievement that does honor to its subject.”

(Joseph Finder)
“Larry Loftis brings the past to life with a brilliantly researched and executed tale of one woman's unparalleled heroism in occupied France during World War II. A riveting true story of love, betrayal and sacrifice, as engaging as any thriller, and not to be missed.”

(Mark Greaney)
“Loftis delivers a tale of courage, daring, valor—and love—for the ages. Code Name: Lise is the closest history comes to a romance novel.”

(Elizabeth Cobbs)
"Larry has a knack for finding untold stories that read more like fiction than fact, and he's done it again with Code Name: Lise. Larry's relentless research makes Odette Sansom's heroics leap off the page, putting her in the pantheon of our own Special Forces heroes."

(Brad Taylor)
“Larry Loftis has crafted a true thriller, a highly entertaining account of the most decorated female spy of WW2. A great read.”

(Alex Kershaw,)
"As one who has seen combat up close and personal, I can say that what Odette and Peter Churchill went through is on another level. This is Outlaw Platoon, spiked with capture and Cupid's arrow."

(Sean Parnell)
"If ever there was a lesson on the impact of one great revolt, Odette’s story is it. Even the dreaded Gestapo couldn't stop her."

(Salena Zito)

World War 2 history is my passion. Especially stories of brave women and men who operated behind enemy lines. This audiobook is excellent! Great narration by Kate Reading. Just the voice for this incredibly exciting true story. This is the story of Operative Odette Sansom who after undergoing specialized training and after several abortive attempts to parachute her into France, is finally linked up with her Commander and Wireless Operator. Her commander is Captain Peter Churchill(No Relation to the Big Man!), and He and Odette fall in love over time. They are betrayed to a German trying to break up their cell and arrest them all.(Hugo Bleicher). He is crafty and Odette is continually matching wits with him as it is move against counter move in a life and death situation. How Odette suffered had me in tears and I won't give away the ending of the excellent true story; only to say both her and Peter Churchill are captured, tortured and sent from horrid prison conditions to even worse conditions. How Odette fools the Nazis into believing Peter Churchill is Winstons' nephew is amazing. The book is extremely well researched and written and a compelling listen(or Read I would imagine.) I recommend Mr. Loftis' book to all fans of this genre. Truth certainly is so much more exciting than fiction in this instance. As always I carefully listen to the voice before I consider a purchase. Cheers to Kate Reading for a superb job! - Ron L.

The story was interesting though not what I was expecting. I thought it would be more about spycraft but in the end was more about stoic endurance in captivity. Performance was adequate if some what flat.
