Codename - Verity

A British military plane crashes in Nazi-occupied France. Its pilot Maddy and passenger Julie are best friends. The first of the girls has a chance to survive, but the second failed her mission before it even began: almost immediately, Julie,... known by her code name Verity, is arrested by the Gestapo. As a secret agent captured in enemy territory, she faces a terrible choice: reveal her mission or face a brutal execution. And Verity begins to give testimony: weaving real facts, fiction, and emotions, she describes her past and clings to life and the last hope of returning home on every scrap of paper.
Best seller No. 1 according to The New York Times and an Edgar Award winner, “Code Name - Verity” is a bitter, desperate, and poignantly touching narrative about fear and courage, resolve and survival, which shows what true friends are willing to do to save their loved ones.
