A Mystic's daughter flees Moscow on the eve of the Great War.
A French soldier lies wounded on the Western Front.
A German officer veers between loyalty and integrity.
An English courtesan reclines on a sea of books.
Each will make a journey that changes history.
The constellations will force the Mystic's daughter to make an impossible choice. To remain at her
harp as the shadow of war looms again - or join the top-secret Special Operations Executive (SOE).
Babouli to her Sufi father, 'Madeleine' to the Gestapo, a lone mission to Occupied Paris promises to
be the most hazardous of World War Two.
Inspired by real events, Codename: Madeleine is the most unexpected spy story ever told. It teems
with tigers, zeppelins, elephants, U-boats, angels, assassins, chessmen, cyanide, beetles, butterflies
and Rumi. Revolving between Paris, London, Prague, India and Latin America, Codename: Madeleine is a
kaleidoscope of love, war, music, betrayal, poetry and resistance.
