About this ebook
Love, lies and deceit in occupied Paris: a young nurse finds herself caught between the resistance and the Gestapo.
Marisa Carnarvon is an enigma to her family. In 1938 she turns her back on her privileged Sydney lifestyle to become a nurse in a London hospital. With conflict looming, she moves to a Red Cross hospital in Paris, totally unprepared for the forces the approaching maelstrom will unleash. In June 1940 the Germans invade Paris and the young nurse is soon pressured by the leader of the local resistance cell to work for the fledgling movement. Marisa's life becomes increasingly precarious with the arrival of a new Gestapo chief who sets out to seduce her, and the hunt for a traitor in the organisation that throws her into the resistance firing line.
As war approaches its climax, Marisa's Gestapo lover flees and the young nurse follows. Only now does Marisa finally discover the truth behind the man whose life was a masterpiece of deception.
