Maybe that’s why he volunteered for this mission-to connect with an ex-German naval officer who stole the Furor’s battle plan for the Atlantic war. As a British reporter working with the M-6, he’s numb to the losses of war after two years of fighting the Germans. So to help occupy her teenage sister, Ginny enlists the Girl Scout troop she leads to help watch for suspicious activity along the coast.

With her father away, she feels duty-bound to stay and help her mother and younger sister.

Ginny Mathis was finished with nursing school and had no intention of staying rooted in the Outer Banks-then war broke out.
