The Ardennes, December 1944, Allied forces are advancing in Germany, however, the Germans are dressing as American G.I.'s and killing the G.I.'s from within. A plot to use these German/American's dressed as G.I.s is afoot. Deep under cover the British have their own spies, British/Germans are relaying back vital information to Bletchley Park. A war story, a love story, a spy story. Book sent to me by a friend who also enjoyed it.
