Book description
The third book in the wartime series continuing from Tuesday's War and
Charlie's War. The war's over. Charlie Bassett is one of England's brave
young survivors. Haunted by one woman's smile and by his wartime
adventures, he finally returns back home to try to pick up the pieces of
his broken life. There's just one small problem - everyone thinks he's
dead. Arrested as a deserter, his only way out of prison is to work for
a shadowy government agency monitoring the growth of Communism in
post-war Europe. Special radio missions keep him busy in the air, while
his all-female team, headed up by the icy Miss Miller, keeps his feet
firmly on the ground. But then Charlie is forced to go undercover as a
spy in a Communist group called the Rubble Rats. The government calls
them the Red Menace, but Charlie finds a group of hard-working families
just trying to get by - and his loyalties are torn. When he discovers
that Grace Baker is one of them, Charlie must make some difficult
decisions. For king and country? Or for the woman he once loved?
