From Publishers Weekly: "Higgins returns to familiar territory with nothing very new to offer. As D-day approaches in Europe, the Allied command learns of a German staff conference to be held in Brittany at the Chateau de Voincourt, where the Nazis will discuss their Atlantic Wall defense strategy. Foreknowledge of these plans could mean the difference between success and failure for the Allied invasion, and as luck would have it, the chateau happens to be the home of an undercover French Resistance agent, beautiful Anne-Marie Trevaunce, so there is every chance that the good guys will succeed in stealing them. When Anne-Marie is incapacitated, luck comes to the fore once again: she just happens to have an identical twin sister living in England who is persuaded to take her place. Fortuitous turns are the norm in this improbable story, as cardboard heroes pull off miraculous rescues, double agents lurk everywhere and villains in uniform serve on both sides of the conflict." Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Book Description: "In this Higgins adventure classic, an Allied spy operation is suddenly jeopardized just as it's about to discover Rommel's plans for defeating the D-Day invasion. "

World WarII senario. As usual Higgins has written a cliff hanger.
The book is even more enjoyable if you have some knowledge of the second World War.

A somewhat entertaining book, but also proof that eventually even the best writers run out of ideas. When they get to that point, then it is time to throw in enough sex and violence to cover up the fact that the plot is essentially the same as he or she used in previous books.

Just another reason why "Best Selling New York Times" authors continue to disappoint me.

Don't get me wrong, there are several of Higgins' books that I thoroughly enjoyed and are still on my shelves. This just won't be one of them.
