The spy-chasers are on a secret mission behind enemy lines in Northern Italy.
February, 1944
WWII
Amidst heavy fighting on the peninsula, the Italian government surrendered five months earlier to the Allies, leaving the upper portion of the country under German control.
The flight nurse in hiding.
In this dangerous world, the lone survivor of a downed evacuation plane, flight nurse, Grace Courtland is hiding as a nun in a mountain monastery. After another plane is shot down in the area, an injured intelligence officer is brought to the monastery. When the two downed pilots of his plane are captured by the Nazis, Grace knows the officer cannot fall into the enemy’s hands, so she gets the partisans to contact the only man she knows she can trust.
The spy-chaser sent on a mission.
When Neptune’s Five team is called to take on another secret mission in Italy, Naval engineer Teddy “Boston” Green, fluent in the local Italian dialect because of his grandmother, isn’t surprised he’s been assigned to retrieve an Army officer from behind enemy lines. When he steps into the cave where the officer is hiding, he’s shocked to also find, Grace, the woman he’d walked away from to join the Navy.
A traitor among the mountains.
As the group navigates the dangerous terrain, evading both the Nazis and the Allied bombings, they must also contend with a traitor among the partisans. Will Boston and Grace escape to safety or remain trapped behind enemy lines?
