Seller Description
IN 1942, a handful of idealistic young Americans receive a mysterious let- ter from the Office of Strategic Services, a counterintelligence branch of the U.S. government, asking them if they are will- ing to fight for their country. Handpicked by their OSS handler, the inscrutable "man in brown," this unusual group of men and women hail from very different backgrounds-a Texan athlete with Ger- man roots, an upper-crust son of a French mother and a wealthy businessman, a dirt-poor Midwestern fly-fisherman, an orphaned fashion designer, and a ravish- ingly beautiful female fencer. Each chooses to answer the call of duty, but for a secret reason of her or his own. They bond immediately, in a group code-named Dragonfly, and take up their false identities as they prepare to be dropped behind enemy lines in German-occupied Paris, embedded among the highest Nazi ranks. Isolated from one another except for a secret drop box, they live each harrowing day in close contact with the powerful Nazi elite who have Paris under siege. One false move and not only their mission but their lives will be over.
