Lieutenant Janine Carlisle, one of the few women to penetrate the male bastion of the British intelligence service MI6, believes they are and challenges SIS command to act. The date approaches with no German military build up and ultimately no invasion. Yet there are whispers in the wind blowing across the bitterly cold winter fields of the Low Countries that hint at a different reality. Is Lieutenant Carlisle the only one listening?

Determined to support resistance in Normandy, Whitstable Castle's MI6 operations invoke ancient tales of specters to shield their radios from the Gestapo ... but are they really tales? As the Wehrmacht rolls over hapless France, a recluse hiding from the world, grieving for his murdered wife, commands a secret - an antenna on the Plouha cliffs strong enough to power the entire clandestine radio network. Can Lieutenant Carlisle convince him to face the enemy and perhaps risk even his only daughter?

The German path to victory, once so clear, dissolves into chaos leaving the players caught in a swirling web of conspiracy, deceit, and recriminations.
