In the spring of 1940, all of Europe knows the war is about to explode. The only question is where.
When MI6 sends Evelyn Ainsworth back to Oslo, no one expects any complications, least of all Evelyn herself. With her identity locked down and her section classified, both her location and her mission are secure.
Or so they thought.
After months of inactivity and scattered warnings across Europe, Hitler finally moves, but not in the direction everyone expects. With tensions between England and Norway rising, the Führer seizes the opportunity to send an invasion force north – straight into Norway.
Trapped in Oslo and facing an advancing German army, Evelyn embarks on a desperate flight to escape the infamous SS. But a deadly foe is right behind her and, as time runs out, she must rely on others to get her out alive…
…or fall victim to the horrors of a war that has well and truly begun.
As Europe reels from the Nazi’s defeat of Poland, a young woman is thrust into war – and into the crosshairs of a Soviet agent.
Evelyn Ainsworth is just coming to terms with the sudden death of her father when an unexpected meeting in London exposes family secrets, changing everything she thought she knew. Faced with the task of traveling to Oslo to meet with a double agent, it’s time for the new MI6 agent to show her worth. But nothing can prepare her for what awaits her in the streets of Norway.
Caught between a ruthless SS agent and the Soviet NKVD, Evelyn races to stay one step ahead of an enemy who seems to know her every move. And as she navigates through the complex web of the intelligence underworld, one thing becomes alarmingly clear: the war is just beginning.
And someone is determined to keep her out of it.
Before there is war, there are those willing to fight...no matter the cost.
France, 1938. While Hitler rebuilds Germany, and French and English leaders focus on appeasement, one man risks everything to smuggle information out of Munich – and into the hands of a young woman.
Evelyn Ainsworth is enjoying a carefree summer with her relatives in the high society of Paris. When her father stops to visit on his way from London to Prague, she never dreams that one favor for him will change her life forever. For beneath the glittering gaiety on the continent, a menacing shadow is growing. While many choose to look the other way, there are some who are desperate to combat the growing evil.
And others even more desperate to empower it.
Offered a chance to make a difference, Evelyn is drawn unexpectedly into a world she didn’t know existed. A world where war is much closer than anyone thinks, information is gold…
…and no one is safe.
The Courier is a novella and the first book in the exciting new series by CW Browning.
