“My name is Jane Doe. I don’t remember who I was. I only know what I must become.”
Occupied France, 1943.
Jane Doe exists only as a number. Known to London by a code, invisible to nearly everyone else, she is sent into France with a single task: survive long enough to be useful.
As a newly inserted agent of Britain’s Special Operations Executive, Jane must rebuild fragile resistance contacts while avoiding German counterintelligence tightening its grip on the countryside. Radios carry messages—and death. Trust is provisional. Silence is survival.
But every decision leaves a trace.
As arrests ripple outward and suspicion turns inward, Jane must choose between operational success and the civilians who shelter her. Anonymity begins to fail. And the cost of being effective grows harder to ignore.
Inspired by the real women of SOE Section F.
