Ww2 Secret Agent

by Deborah Swift 3 books in this series

The WW2 Secret Agent series follows Nancy Callaghan and code expert Tom Lockwood through the covert war against Nazi Germany. The Silk Code begins in 1943 with SOE communications and the Englandspiel disaster; The Shadow Network broadens the world to black propaganda and the Political Warfare Executive; Operation Tulip sends Nancy into occupied Holland during the Hunger Winter.

The sequence combines espionage fiction with real wartime organisations, technologies and failures. Codes, clandestine radio, deception and resistance networks are not simply background detail: each shapes the risks faced by agents who can rarely know whether a message, colleague or apparent ally can be trusted.
