This week, we’re giving away three copies of Code Name Funnel Web by Camille Booker. When Frankie Davies' brother goes missing in Singapore during WWII and her Italian lover is detained as a POW, she becomes a covert agent code-named Funnel Web for the British Resistance. Behind enemy lines from Nazi-occupied Paris to Eastern Europe and Asia, she must navigate treacherous alliances, dangerous romances, and moral compromises, risking everything to save those she loves while trying to preserve her humanity. You can also meet Australian Writers' Centre graduate Camille on our blog and on episode 666 of our podcast. Here’s the blurb:
What if the only way to save your brother’s life was to become a spy?
1940, Sydney.
World War II is raging across the globe. But so far, Frances Davies has managed to avoid the firsthand tolls of combat. That all changes when her brother, Thomas, is reported MIA in Singapore.
Frankie meets Leo, a boat-loving immigrant from Italy, and they fall in love. Local attitudes and something more sinister tear them apart. When he is detained as a prisoner-of-war, she can no longer stand by.
Under the direction of a shadowy British intelligence officer, Frankie agrees to become a covert agent for the Resistance, code-named Funnel Web – like the infamous arachnids of her homeland.
Behind enemy lines, Frankie must survive Nazi-occupied Paris, gulag-infested Eastern Europe, and treachery-laden Asia with instructions to ensnare her targets by any means necessary.
To save Thomas and help defeat the Axis powers, Frankie is forced to navigate a gnarled web of duplicitous alliances and dangerous romances – all the while attempting to salvage some semblance of her humanity.
How entangled will she become in her own web of spies?
