'RESISTANCE WOULD BE FUTILE' - THE TIMES
'I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!' - CLAIRE GRADIDGE

THREE WOMEN. ONE MISSION. ENEMIES EVERYWHERE.

May 1944. When spy Elisabeth de Mornay, code name Cecile, notices a coded transmission from an agent in the field does not bear his usual signature, she suspects his cover has been blown - something that is happening with increasing frequency. With the situation in Occupied France worsening and growing fears that the Resistance has been compromised, Cecile is ordered behind enemy lines.

Having rendezvoused with her fellow agents, Leonie and Dominique, together they have one mission: help the Resistance destabilise German operations to pave the way for the Normandy landings.

But the life of a spy is never straightforward, and the in-fighting within the Resistance makes knowing who to trust ever more difficult. With their lives on the line, all three women will have to make decisions that could cost them everything - for not all their enemies are German.

Industry Reviews

'An engrossing read - I couldn't put it down! The plot is full of unexpected twists and turns that kept me guessing. A perfect summertime read' - Claire Gradidge, author of The Unexpected Return of Josephine Fox, winner of the Richard and Judy Search for a Bestseller Competition

'Timon's perky spirit of romance is hard to dislike. Resistance would be futile' - The Times

'A heart-stopping read - fantastic writing with a compelling cast and sinuous plotting, Resistance is a gift to all fans of espionage thrillers and high quality, immersive historical fiction' - Imogen Robertson, author of the Crowther and Westerman series

'Tense, vivid and utterly addictive. I can't recommend it enough' - Louise Beech

'With Resistance Mara Timon cements her position as a talented new voice on the espionage thriller scene. Cecile is a wonderfully drawn and intriguing protagonist and her second wartime mission makes for a thrilling tale in which her enemies are not always obvious. Intelligent and elegant storytelling' - A. K. Turner, author of Body Language
