Caitrin, too, strives to weather each challenge that comes her way, though her ever-ready banter belies deep heartbreak and loss. But now the war has entered another phase. Instead of indiscriminate bombing, the Luftwaffe is pinpointing historic targets with the help of homing beacons placed by the enemy. It’s as if Germany plans to erase Britain’s very essence and culture, destroying morale as it does so.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCaitrin is no fan of the landed gentry, even if her fellow operative and friend, Lord Hector Neville-Percy, is one of them. Yet soon it is not just historic targets under attack, but hospitals and nursing homes too. Tasked with rooting out the saboteurs placing the beacons, she finds that all roads lead to Daniel “Teddy” Baer, a charismatic Whitechapel crook who will crush anyone who interferes with his dreams—Caitrin included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a member of the female-driven 512 counterespionage unit, Caitrin understands how often women are underestimated and overlooked—and how to use it to her advantage. Yet she’s not the only one who knows how to hide in plain sight, how to outwit and manipulate. And sometimes, as with a beacon hidden deep within a building, danger only becomes apparent when it flares to life, right before the moment of impact . . .\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003ePraise for The Secret Churchill Files \u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“With a fierce heroine and nail-biting plot, this will delight fans of Jacqueline Winspear and Susan Elia MacNeal.” \u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eon \u003ci\u003eA Beacon in the Night\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“I really enjoyed Caitrin’s confidence and independence. . .
