Synopsis

In the flamboyant Twenties, Englishman William Grover-Williams and Frenchman Robert Benoist were fierce rivals racing their elegant Bugattis on the glittering European race circuits. Not only is the World Championship in their sights, but they have both fallen for the sensuous charms of the extravagantly beautiful Eve Aubicq. But when war breaks out, everything changes. Paris is in the iron-grip of German occupation and Robert and William join the Special Operations Executive to help the French Resistance undermine the brutal occupying regime. Their missions involve utmost courage and daring in the face of the horrors of war. Based on a true story of British covert activity and the French Resistance during the Second World War, this is a gripping novel of heroism, self-sacrifice, love and betrayal.

About this title

Review:

'A beautiful and haunting read' -- Daily Express

'Excellent...I cannot recommend it too highly...Comparisons may be drawn between EARLY ONE MORNING and CHARLOTTE GRAY. Ryan’s story is much the stronger' -- Daily Telegraph

'It steers well clear of this genre’s pitfalls, thanks to the author’s well-honed thriller instinct. Essential reading -- GQ Magazine

'Ryan is terrific on the technical details...EARLY ONE MORNING has an unexpected twist in the tale...EARLY ONE MORNING will sell' -- The Times

'The combination of fast cars, sex and romance, spies, nasty Nazis and plucky heroes is damn near irresistible, and Ryan's grasp on the plot is hard to fault' -- Time Out

Book Description:
