From a master of World War II espionage, a thrilling tale of an
adoptive mother and a lost boy fighting to survive in occupied France
The moment Angélique arrives in Paris, she is taken prisoner by the SS.
In a lonely little room, she is put in a chair with leather straps and a
bloodstained seat and ordered to tell her captors everything she knows
about the resistance. But Angélique knows nothing. She cares only for
poor Martin, the boy who has been unable to speak since the bombs first
fell during the Blitzkrieg. He has a secret--and she will protect it
until her dying breath.
Though Angélique loves him like her own, Martin is not her son. He came
to her from the sky, brought by a parachute dropped by the British, and
if the Germans learn his true identity, it will mean certain death for
both of them.
The Little Parachute is a testament to the genius of J. Robert Janes,
author of the legendary St.-Cyr and Kohler mysteries, who understands
the tragedies of World War II like no one else.
