She operates in the enemy’s midst—but the true danger is from one of her own . . . A pulse-pounding WWII thriller by an author whose “action passages are superb” (The Observer).
 
 At the London headquarters of ‘F’ Section SOE—Special Operations Executive—they’re sure Rosie Ewing is dead, shot by the Gestapo while running from a train taking her to Ravensbrück concentration camp.
 
 But they shouldn’t be so sure.

 Left for dead, Rosie has been nursed back to health at a farmhouse in Alsace. Now she has a score to settle, and an SOE traitor to track down. It’s not just necessary, it’s personal—because she’s one of the agents he betrayed . . .

Rosie Ewing Spy Thrillers

In at the Kill

The first thriller in the WWII series featuring SOE agent Rosie Ewing, a “meticulously researched war novel” (Len Deighton).
 
 Summer 1943: Rosie Ewing is an agent of SOE—Special Operations Executive—and a “pianist,” Resistance slang for radio operator. Their average life expectancy is six weeks.
 
 But Rosie is brighter than most, well aware of the consequences of a second’s carelessness, or bad luck, or treachery. Or a fellow agent crumbling under torture, naming names.

 Her brief is to set up a new network in occupied Rouen, where the old one has been blown and an agent is suspected of betrayal. If she gets there, that is. Landing from a gunboat on the Brittany coast, she must travel to Paris—carrying forged papers, a radio transceiver, and more than a million francs in cash . . .

 Frighteningly realistic, unbearably exciting, the Rosie Ewing spy thrillers come from Alexander Fullerton, acclaimed for his “talent for combining historical fact with rousing fiction” (Publishers Weekly).
 
 “The tension rarely slackens and the setting is completely convincing.” —The Times Literary Supplement
 
 “His action passages are superb.” —The Observer

Into the Fire

A riveting prequel to the WWII espionage series featuring British agent Rosie Ewing, in this “meticulously researched war novel” (Len Deighton).
 
 Late autumn, 1942: A group codenamed Countryman are briefed by London to get a certain German out of Vichy’s hands. What they don’t know is that they are being sold out to the Gestapo.

 Of course, they are constantly aware of betrayal as a looming danger. All too many SOE networks have been blown, with agents disappearing into the Gestapo cellars and extermination camps: the dread every agent lives with every minute of every day.

 In amongst them is Rosie Ewing, about to start a series of extraordinary life-or-death adventures . . .

Staying Alive

A lone agent is sent into occupied Paris to find the mistress of a high-level Nazi officer in this edge-of-your-seat WWII espionage adventure.
 
 When two agents are arrested in Paris, SOE agent Rosie Ewing is sent to rescue them. Also in Paris in the summer of 1945 is a woman called Jacqueline, already known to Rosie and now the mistress of a highly placed SD officer. Rosie’s brief is to find Jacqueline, and through her discover where the two agents are being held—then get them out before they either talk or die.

 She needs help from the French Resistance. But both Gaullist and Communist groups are stirring—and at each other’s throats. There are also several exceptionally vicious pro-Nazi groups out there. Rosie is going in solo—and virtually blind . . .

Single to Paris

In this stunning adventure set in war-torn France—a British agent finds herself in Nazi territory—and unsure about who to trust . . .
 
 It’s the spring of 1944 and Rosie Ewing is returning to German-occupied France, by air, this time.
 
 She’s carrying a radio, half a million francs, a pistol, and two cyanide capsules to Finistere in north-west Brittany.

 With D-Day looming, Rosie fears that the man who’ll be meeting her on the ground tonight may be a traitor. She can’t be certain. But she does know that the likely end of the road for captured female agents is Ravensbrück, or l’enfer des femmes, as the Resistance calls it—the dreaded concentration camp for women . . .
