Goodreads asked Debra Finerman:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Debra Finerman I was touched and emotionally moved by the plaques you see all around Paris commemorating the brave young Resistance fighters who died on the spot during the time of the Nazi Occupation of France from 1940 to 1945, gunned down by Nazis right there on the streets and bridges. Also, I happened to visit the Imperial War Museum a few years ago in London and was fascinated by the S.O.E. organization, the spies they trained, the equipment and weapons on display in the museum.
