The Unlikely Spy Daniel Silva

In wartime, Winston Churchill wrote, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies. For Britain's counterintelligence operations, this meant finding the unlikeliest agents imaginable - including a history professor named Alfred Vicary. Handpicked by Churchill himself, Vicary must stop an unknown spy from uncovering the Allied battle plans for D-Day. The Nazis, however, have also chosen their operative carefully. Posing as a war widow and hospital volunteer, Catherine Blake is under direct orders from Hitler to seal the German victory no matter what the cost.
