De Vos uit zijn Hol

by John Harris, Hugo Kuipers (Translator)

A brilliant German agent lies in wait for the allied invasion of Nazi-occupied France. While the allies prepare a vast armed camp, no one is aware of the enemy within, and when a sudden, deadly E-boat attacks, the Fox strikes, stealing secret invasion plans in the ensuing panic. What follows is a deadly pursuit as the Fox tries to get the plans to Germany in time, hotly pursued by two officers with orders to stop him at all costs.

Reviews

[Jeff King · Rating 3 out of 5]

Unusual spy hunt drama set in the prelude to D-Day in 1994. An interesting tale with some good characters. I picked it up thinking it was a land-based Douglas Reeman story but it wasn't.
