The muzzle flash exposed her like a blowtorch in the darkness. The flash of his pistol daggered back at her... The worst of the Blitz is over but the killing isn't finished. A sleeper cell of German agents still haunts London's streets, seducing men and feeding on their secrets, and nobody suspects that mere women might be spies. The War Office can call on female agents of its own, a special service unit who will play the enemy at their own game. Patiently they stalk their prey under cover of the blackout. But a team of cornered Nazis won't go down without a fight.... LIGHTNING WAR is the second mission featuring THE FURIES, a daring sisterhood fighting a deadly war that just got dirtier.
