Night Flight to Paris

In Black’s second “Kate Rees WWII” novel (following Three Hours in Paris), sharpshooter Kate is happy to be training soldiers in Scotland after a harrowing mission that included betrayal by her British handlers. When one of those handlers shows up and issues orders for a new assignment in Paris, she is not pleased. Heavily disguised as a Red Cross nurse, she must deliver penicillin cultures to the Pasteur Institute, assassinate a Nazi officer, and rescue her friend Margo, a spy who once saved her life. Of course, the only thing that she can really trust is her reliable Lee-Enfield rifle. The people that she must count on are double and triple agents involved in groups that are rife with political infighting. Readers will have a hard time keeping up with Kate’s breakneck-speed trips thorough Paris and even Cairo as she rushes to save Margo, kill the enemies, and get secret Nazi invasion plans, but it is definitely worth the ride.
