The Bordeaux Bakery

About this book

The compelling sequel to the Bordeaux Bakery The Gestapo is closing in on the network and someone is helping them.... Early spring 1944, occupied France. SOE agent and explosives expert, Marie-Louise, has withdrawn from the British Bordeaux network and local resistance activity, seeking anonymity in the rural heart of the Dordogne. But the war refuses to let her go. When violence and betrayal spread beyond Bordeaux, she is forced to confront the truth she can no longer ignore: neutrality is an illusion. And as the Nazi grip on Bordeaux tightens, British wireless operator, Jack Ward, left to run the network, is pushed to the brink; hunted, wounded and betrayed by a collaborator. Each transmission to London risks not only his life, but the lives of the resistance network and the nearby villagers. As the Gestapo closes in on Jack, 'the foreigner', and things begin to go horribly wrong, it is clear that someone from the shadows of the resistance is whispering into Fischer's ear. From Gestapo interrogation cells to convent safe houses, from villages and farms to Maquis forest hideouts, from Poitiers to the Pyrenees, The Bordeaux Betrayals is a fast paced, gripping story of courage under occupation, moral compromise, and the devastating cost of resistance in the lead up to D Day. Inspired by the real events and the actual agents who operated in Bordeaux during WW2, this meticulously researched sequel continues the complicated wartime lives of Ralph, Emilie, Eve, Marie-Louise and Jack from The Bordeaux Bakery, and the build up by local resistance groups prior to, and after D Day. Perfect for lovers of The Nightingale, The After Dunkirk series and Kate Quinn.
