One woman. One parachute. One chance to save the Resistance.
- Occupied France.
A woman the Gestapo cannot catch — and the Allies cannot afford to lose.
Krystyna Skarbek - known to the British as Christine Granville - drops into the dark over the Vercors plateau to rebuild shattered resistance networks and outmanoeuvre the tightening German hunt.
Her world is made of coded messages, sabotage missions, and fragile alliances.
But the net is closing.
The Abwehr is hunting her.
Contacts disappear.
Safe houses fall silent.
The mountains are no longer protection — they are a trap.
When three captured SOE officers face execution, Krystyna undertakes the most dangerous mission of her life: walking alone into Gestapo headquarters armed with nothing but nerve, calculation, and the power of deception.
Based on real events, THE LEAP is a tense, atmospheric World War II espionage thriller about courage under pressure, survival against impossible odds, and the cost of refusing to surrender.
For readers of Kate Quinn, Ariel Lawhon, and Alan Furst.
