Jack Higgins. Tome 2

1944, Cold Harbour, Cornouailles : pour les services secrets alliés, les conditions du débarquement ne pourront être fixées qu'une fois découvert le système de défense du mur de l'Atlantique.
    Comment ? En infiltrant la conférence présidée par Rommel qui doit avoir lieu au château de Voincourt, en Bretagne. La comtesse Hortense de Voincourt et surtout sa nièce Anne-Marie, qui collaborent en apparence avec l'ennemi, seront la clé de l'affaire. L'opération Cornouailles est lancée...
    Dans ce fascinant jeu de doubles et de masques où personne n'est tout à fait ce qu'il paraît être et où la couleur d'un uniforme ne suffit pas à distinguer le bien du mal, l'opération Cornouailles n'est en fait que la partie visible d'une opération beaucoup plus vaste et beaucoup plus inquiétante...
