While I found this enjoyable, I usually have a bit of a problem with historical fiction when using real characters as this book does with the life of Nancy Wake Fiocca (or Nancy Wake if you are looking it up).  She already wrote her best selling autobiography in 1985 using the same title as this book which also gives me a small bit of concern but since that was her moniker it is harmless enough.If you ignore the life of the real person and read this as simply a work of fiction it is well done and entertaining, the action, intrigue, drama and stress all work together to make a very good novel to take up an evening or two.the real life story of Nancy Wake is amazingly entertaining and while this is a work of fiction it does her no disservice. It has all the hallmarks of an excellent  wartime thriller, highly recommended.
