Product Description

SOE agent Rosie Ewing, who has recently survived a miraculous escape from being deported to a death camp and has been flown home, is looking forward to seeing her lover, Ben Quarry, who has heard she is dead. However, as she returns, two SOE agents are arrested and held in Paris by the Gestapo - or someone worse. As Rosie knows these agents, she is sent back to try and rescue them. She starts with tracking down Jacqueline, a woman she recruited for some SOE work, but who has Nazi boyfriends. Jacqueline has moved to Paris with Gerhardt Clausen, a high-ranking member of the SD. When Rosie finds her, she warns her that when the war is over (and all the signs are that this will be soon), Jacqueline faces severe treatment for having collaborated. Rosie offers her SOE protection, if she will introduce her to Gerhardt, whom she has heard is interrogating Yvette and Guillame, the two SOE agents. Gripping and authentic, SINGLE TO PARIS concludes the four-volume Rosie Ewing series in a dramatically emphatic way.

Good read
I have never read any Alexander Fullerton books and was compelled to check out at least one of his novels. Single to Paris is the fourth part of the series, which follows SOE Rosie Ewing and her journey from Rouen to Paris to find two other secret agents captured by the Gestapo. Admittedly, it was quite differcult to get a grasp of the characters and situations as it did link back to the other three parts. But the coherent descriptive manner of which this is wrote deems the book to be more espionage action orientated. It works to some respect, but would have liked more intimate sensuality in the way its written. Perhaps explore Paris' history, cultural heritage. After saying so, the remarkable interaction between some of the characters are unique, you get a paranoid feeling of who's intrinsically bad and who's not. It does pick up pace towards the end but ends far too abruptly, tying up the loose ends with a mere few pages called "Postscript". It's apparent that there's a lot of research gone into the writing of the story, all of the main elements are correct Ie. The formation of resistant groups in Paris, the coming of the Allies etc etc. The book is definitely worth reading, but at the end I can not help but feel the overall experiance was a bit shallow.
