Synopsis
NATIONAL BESTSELLER A Goodreads Choice Awards semifinalist Featured in The New York Times , The Atlantic , Time , New York Newsday , and on Today Best Nonfiction Books to Read in 2019-- Woman's Day The Best Nonfiction Books Coming Out This Year-- BookBub "A nonfiction thriller."-- The Wall Street Journal From internationally bestselling author of the "gripping" (Michael Connelly, #1 New York Times bestselling author) Into the Lion's Mouth comes the extraordinary true story of Odette Sansom, the British spy who operated in occupied France and fell in love with her commanding officer during World War II--perfect for fans of Unbroken , The Nightingale , and Code Girls . The year is 1942, and World War II is in full swing. Odette Sansom decides to follow in her war hero father's footsteps by becoming an SOE agent to aid Britain and her beloved homeland, France. Five failed attempts and one plane crash later, she finally lands in occupied France to begin her mission. It is here that she meets her commanding officer Captain Peter Churchill. As they successfully complete mission after mission, Peter and Odette fall in love. All the while, they are being hunted by the cunning German secret police sergeant, Hugo Bleicher, who finally succeeds in capturing them. They are sent to Paris's Fresnes prison, and from there to concentration camps in Germany where they are starved, beaten, and tortured. But in the face of despair, they never give up hope, their love for each other, or the whereabouts of their colleagues. In Code Name: Lise , Larry Loftis paints a portrait of true courage, patriotism, and love--of two incredibly heroic people who endured unimaginable horrors and degradations. He seamlessly weaves together the touching romance between Odette and Peter and the thrilling cat and mouse game between them and Sergeant Bleicher. With this amazing testament to the human spirit, Loftis proves once again that he is adept at writing "nonfiction that reads like a page-turning novel" ( Parade )., NATIONAL BESTSELLER A Goodreads Choice Awards semifinalist Florida Book Awards Silver Medalist Featured in The New York Times , The Atlantic , Time , New York Newsday , and o, NATIONAL BESTSELLER A Goodreads Choice Awards semifinalist Florida Book Awards Silver Medalist Featured in The New York Times , The Atlantic , Time , New York Newsday , and on Today !

    Unbelievable, but true history

    Highly recommend; much in-depth research went into the writing of this book. While historical, it is a real page turner! This is an exact history of World War II’s most highly decorated spy! There are pictures, also end notes, bibliography (with archives and official documents, books and articles you can use for further study), an index & an Appendix! These help explain real-life circumstances and give you a greater picture of this world-changing event.
