‘RESISTANCE WOULD BE FUTILE’ - THE TIMES
‘I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!’ - CLAIRE GRADIDGE

Resistance tells the thrilling story of three women on a critical mission amidst a backdrop of increasing danger.

May 1944. When spy Elisabeth de Mornay, code name Cecile, notices a coded transmission from an agent in the field that does not bear his usual signature, she suspects his cover has been blown—something that is happening with increasing frequency. With the situation in Occupied France worsening and growing fears that the Resistance has been compromised, Cecile is ordered behind enemy lines.

Having rendezvoused with her fellow agents, Leonie and Dominique, together they have one mission: help the Resistance destabilise German operations to pave the way for the Normandy landings.

But the life of a spy is never straightforward, and the in-fighting within the Resistance makes knowing who to trust ever more difficult. With their lives on the line, all three women will have to make decisions that could cost them everything—for not all their enemies are German.

About the Author

Raised in New York, Mara Timon moved to the UK almost 20 years ago; and fell in love with London and the way it melds the old and the new. Growing up with one parent fascinated with literature and the other with history, she started writing from an early age, although it wasn't until a programme on the BBC caught her interest, and one 'what if' led to another, that her first book began to take shape.
