Description
"With a female-led cast of covert operatives and dauntless agents, this novel upturns worn-out tropes of women in espionage as little more than honeypots or distractions. While many pulp 20th-century spy thrillers rely on a mixture of brawn, bravado, and luck, Operation Nightfall is a uniquely personal and provocative thriller that unveils the political machinations of the time period alongside the intricacy and suspense of real-world espionage." - Self-Publishing Review
Poland, 1948. Former SOE operative Luba Haas and MI6 agent Natalie Jenkins secretly enter Poland to meet with a sleeper agent and anti-communist insurgents not realizing their mission has been compromised by a mole deep inside British intelligence. Hunted by both Soviet and Polish intelligence services, they attempt a harrowing escape, not knowing whom they can trust as they try to outrun their pursuers.
Inspired by the true events of Poland's anti-communist insurgency, the Cambridge Five spy scandal, and a covert MI6 operation which attempted to rollback communism to the borders of the USSR, Operation Nightfall: The Web of Spies sheds light on a lesser-known story of the Cold War and immerses readers into the shadowy world of counterintelligence and spy versus spy operations.
