France, 1943. SOE operative Derrick Sedgley is running for Spain with Lotte Braun, a German woman who should not exist in his operation and cannot be left behind. Behind them is her brother Ernst, a Luftwaffe pilot with two years of certainty about who betrayed him and a score that will not wait for the border. Alongside Ernst is an SS officer who is prepared to kill them all.
Derrick made Ernst a promise. It cost him everything to keep it. It is about to cost him more.
One More Hour of Daylight is a taut WWII thriller about impossible loyalties, a mountain crossing, and what a single promise is worth when everything is on the line.
