SPIES OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN
is the true story of legendary
British safecracker and spy Eddie Chapman
, the
British Double Cross Spy System
, and
Norwegian female Resistance operatives Dagmar Lahlum and Annemarie Breien
. Known as
Agent Zigzag
, the most remarkable double agent of WWII, the fearless and roguishly handsome
Chapman
fell in love with and spied alongside the stunning 20-year-old model
Dagmar Lahlum
in Occupied Norway. Based upon recently released historical records from British and Norwegian archives, this
WWII adventure and romance tale
illuminates for the first time the intimate relationship between the two spy-lovers as well as the wartime exploits of Lahlum, Breien, and the Norwegian Resistance to liberate Norway and combat the
Gestapo's bloodhound investigator, Siegfried Fehmer
. The contributions of
and
Annemarie Breien
to the Allied war effort are many and incontrovertible--and yet history has never properly recognized these courageous Resistance women for their achievements. Until now. This book is their story and the story of the colorful
Eddie Chapman
in their efforts to defeat the Nazis. Fans of
Beneath A Scarlet Sky
,
author Ben Macintyre,
and the
WWII novels of Ken Follett
(
The Key to Rebecca, Jackdaws, Eye of the Needle
) will enjoy this true story of
WWII
espionage
romance
suspense
in
war-torn London
Occupied Norway
