About the Book:

A Secret So Colossal It Will Decide Who Wins the War…

May, 1944:  The world holds its breath-  The Allies prepare to launch their all-important invasion of Europe.   The invasion plan is a secret that must be kept at all costs, but the secret is beset from all sides: a sleeper spy in England, a disaster during an invasion rehearsal, a double-dealing French Resistance leader, a ruthlessly-obsessed Gestapo head. And, for an American intelligence officer, it is a race against time to save both the secret and the woman he loves.

And now the secret’s safety hangs upon two things: Operation First Violin, the brainchild of the chief English spymaster, and a French orphan girl seeking to find escape from a world that has dealt her terrible blows.

Played out in England and Normandy over two weeks that will decide the course of history, The Sobs of Autumn’s Violins is a tale of suspense, courage, and love that builds to a stunning double climax.
