'The master storyteller' - The Times

'This fresh concept is carried off with effortless skill' - Barry Forshaw

Jackdaws by Ken Follett is an irresistible novel about the French Resistance - a story of love, courage and revenge in the Second World War.

A Failed Mission
Two weeks before D-Day, the French Resistance try to destroy a telephone exchange vital to Nazi communications. Heavily defended, the mission fails disastrously.

A Daring Plan
With invasion looming, Flick Clairet, a British secret agent, proposes a daring but perilous new plan. She, along with an all-female team - the Jackdaws - will infiltrate and neutralize the exchange before Allied forces land in France.

A Race Against Time
However, unbeknownst to Flick, a German army officer has assigned a brilliant spy-catcher - Dieter Franck - to crush the French Resistance. And now Franck is closing in . . .
