The book begins in New York City in 1946 as Grace is forced to enter Grand Central Station and literally stumbles over a suitcase marked "Trigg". We soon discover Trigg is the woman in England who is responsible for recruiting women for the SOE to send to France during WWII.
The book moves quickly, the pace first evoking the feeling of panic that Grace feels trying to get to work on time and having to confront Grand Central, then capturing the desperation of England in 1943 and the rapid recruitment of spies.
I was hooked after the three chapter excerpt. Why is Eleanor Trigg's suitcase in New York? Why does she have photographs of so many women--presumably women that she sent to France as saboteurs? I'm eager to learn what happens to Grace, Eleanor, and Marie, and worried that it won't be all good news!
