Comment
During World War 2 in the run up to the invasion of Sicilly, the British come up with a plan to mislead the Germans as to the location of the invasion by using a dead body to create a fake life and give him the false information ready to be discovered by the Germans. The story is based on actual events and has lots of detail as to how this was all set up. A low key, but engaging spy thriller.
