1941, in a Britain desperately struggling to survive, Simon Bach would appear to be the perfect fit as an operative in the Special Operations Executive, Well born, well bred, well educated. Joe Turner is the opposite, orphaned, with no social standing and an education hard learnt on the rough streets of East End London. Rosie Percival is nobody’s cliché. Each of them is brave, ruthless and have extraordinary talents but, they must fight not only against the evils of the Axis powers but also the prejudices they each encounter nearer to home.
In this their first mission, our unique team, is tasked with stopping a Black-Market racket that threatens to undermine British morale. To succeed they must learn to work together, and that the enemies of 1941 Britain aren’t always so obliging, that they wear black uniforms and swastikas.
