War Novels (Series)

Set against the turbulent backdrop of war, this series concentrates on the complex moral decisions ordinary people must make when confronted by extraordinary circumstances. From Book 1: When Lukas Schiller’s Messerschmitt explodes on the bleak North Wessex Downs, he prays the enemy will think he’s been blown to pieces with his plane. He must get back to his base in Coquelles to continue the fight against the British, but how will he make it to the coast with a dislocated shoulder?

Millie Sanger, a lonely young widow running an isolated farm up on the Downs is forced to visit the dark barn where her husband hanged himself the previous summer. In the freezing darkness, she thinks she’s found a restless spirit. Instead she finds a German service revolver pointing at her head.

In that moment, both will make a decision that changes their lives forever. A harrowing story of deception, betrayal, and love, perfect for fans of All the Light We Cannot See, The Nightingale and Captain Corelli’s Mandolin.
