The First Wave: A Billy Boyle World War II Mystery - Hardcover
Book 2 of 21: Billy Boyle World War II Mystery
Synopsis
In November of 1942 the Allies are poised to liberate Algeria from the Vichy French regime, a client state of Nazi Germany. This, it is hoped, will squeeze Rommel's Africa Korps between two forces and sweep him from North Africa. But no one knows whether the French will greet the Americans as friends or foes.
Based on family connections rather than experience, Billy Boyle, a young Irish-American cop from Boston, has become General Dwight D. Eisenhower's personal investigator. Now he goes ashore with the first wave of American troops to land on the Beer Green invasion beach, sixteen miles from the Algerian capital. Once in Algiers, he encounters SOE Agent Diana Seaton, the English girl with whom he has fallen in love, among a group of French rebels captured by the French fascist militia. While solving a series of murders of American and French soldiers, Billy must rescue her from renegade Vichy collaborators who have abducted her and are holding her prisoner.
