Amid the turbulence of 1940s war-torn Europe nobody is safe.

A young man who had long dreamt of becoming a pilot, leaves his home in London and joins the RAF. This novel follows his life as a navigator, his brushes with death and his part in dangerous SOE missions. Shot down in his Halifax bomber over occupied France, he finally escapes with the help of a farming family and the Resistance, through Spain, along the Comet Line and to England.

Years later he returns to the French countryside to find Brigitte, his wartime sweetheart and the family that gave him hope and shelter. There he learns of the terror that had befallen her quiet village and makes a discovery that changes his life.
