The men and women from very different backgrounds--a Texan athlete with German roots, an upper-crust son of a French mother and a wealthy businessman, a dirt-poor Midwestern fly fisherman, an orphaned fashion designer, and a ravishingly beautiful female fencer -- all answer the call of duty, but each for a secret reason of his or her own. They bond immediately, in a group code-named Dragonfly. Thus begins a dramatic cat-and-mouse game, as the group seeks to stay under the radar until a fatal misstep leads to the capture and the firing-squad execution of one of their team. But ... is everything as it seems, or is this one more elaborate act of spycraft? 610 10 $a United States. $b Office of Strategic Services $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Intelligence service $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $v Fiction. 650 7 $a FICTION / War & Military. $2 bisacsh 610 17 $a United States. $b Office of Strategic Services. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00542242 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 650 7 $a Intelligence service. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00975848 650 0 $a Large type books. 648 7 $a 1939-1945 $2 fast 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a Spy fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726748 655 7 $a War fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01922585 655 7 $a War stories. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a War fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Spy fiction. $2 lcgft 655 0 $a Large type books. 941 $a 7 945 $a lpt 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611020643.0 952 $l REPC017 $d 20220831010246.0 952 $l AKPC906 $d 20200807010044.0 952 $l TSPC862 $d 20200606010615.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204094959.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110081457.0 952 $l LYPB815 $d 20191009155426.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5331A460ADD811E997956CF996128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
