The Fox from His Lair

First published 1980

4.4(1,081)

During the preparations for D-Day, a covert German agent known as the Fox obtains invasion plans after an unexpected E-boat attack causes heavy casualties. Two officers are ordered to recover the documents and identify the spy before the information can reach Germany. Their pursuit unfolds across southern England at the moment when secrecy is essential to the Allied invasion.

The theft of invasion plans gives the novel a counter-espionage perspective on the preparations for D-Day. Southern England’s camps, ports and restricted zones become a vulnerable intelligence landscape in which one agent could threaten the Normandy operation.
