VICTORY HANGS IN THE BALANCE 1944.

In the weeks leading up to D-Day, the Allies are disguising their invasion plans with elaborate decoy ships and planes. If they can land a force on mainland Europe, they will gain the upperhand in a war that has ravaged the world for years, and can then take the fight to the Nazi menace.

A COLD-BLOODED KILLER His weapon is the stiletto; his code name: The Needle. He is Hitler's prize undercover agent - a ruthless, professional murderer. In England, he uncovers the Allies' D-Day plans, but his cover is blown in the process.

A DEADLY CHASE Leaving a trail of bodies in his wake and with MI5 on his tail, The Needle ruthlessly races to a U-boat that is waiting to convey him and his critical message to Germany. But he hasn't planned for a storm-battered island and the remarkable young woman who lives there.
