A Code Developer Uncovers a Japanese Spy Ring
Full of intrigue, adventure, and romance, this new series celebrates the unsung heroes—the heroines of WWII.
FBI cryptographer Eloise Marshall is grieving the death of her brother, who died during the attack on Pearl Harbor, when she is assigned to investigate a seemingly innocent letter about dolls. Agent Phillip Clayton is ready to enlist and head oversees when asked to work one more FBI job. A case of coded defense coordinates related to dolls should be easy, but not so when the Japanese Consulate gets involved, hearts get entangled, and Phillip goes missing. Can Eloise risk loving and losing again?

Are you willing to take a risk? After all, a coincidence is never a coincidence.
Many cryptographers were used in WWII in an effort to stay ahead of the enemy. After all, knowing what they planned before it could be put into operation would likely save thousands of lives. Even if it were only a few, it was still worth it! Eloise Marshall was one of these very talented people who could take what looked like gibberish to the average person and find the message hidden within. Because of her skill, this naval code breaker was approached for an undercover mission with the FBI.
Steganography was a way to send information that looked totally innocent to everyone except the one that had the code. But what information is being disseminated and what does this mean to national security? Agent Philip Clayton and Eloise are tasked with breaking this code, but will they survive to find the answers?
This book grabbed my attention immediately and held it all the way through. The detail and well developed characters made it a most fascinating read. An ARC of this Heroines of WWII was received through Barbour Publishing and NetGalley. The impressions and comments made are my own and were in no way solicited.
