Aurore, Hurley - C

       This novel is set in 1943 and features Billy Angell, a Brighton-raised Flight Sergeant in the RAF.  After the completion of his 30 missions over Germany, he is offered a job by MI5. If he completes it, his war is over. He is sent to France, where he is expected to leak a fabrication to confuse the Germans about where the Allied landing will be. Madame Helene Lafosse is chosen as the person to receive the story because she is close to Bjorn Klimt, a colonel in the Abwehr. The seed is planted and the misleading information is under consideration. Billy's job is done, but soon, he and Helene are in custody; Billy is sent to Dachau, Helene to Ravensbruck, and Klimt is in trouble too.  Only Billy survives.
