From the Shadows sends wartime investigator Billy Boyle into the chaos of occupied Europe as World War II enters a critical phase. Tasked with extracting a British Special Operations Executive officer from Crete and escorting him to southern France, Billy quickly discovers that his charge has made powerful enemies on all sides.
Amid the aftermath of the bloody Vercors uprising, rival Resistance groups are divided by suspicion and revenge. Billy must help identify fascist sympathizers while tensions among French fighters threaten to erupt into open conflict. His mission becomes even more perilous when he pursues a side investigation to clear a fellow soldier accused of murder.
Along the way, Billy crosses paths with legendary SOE agent Christine Granville and the Nisei soldiers of the famed 442nd Regimental Combat Team, whose courage and sacrifice stand out against the brutality of war. Every new ally might be a traitor, and every lead pulls him deeper into a web of covert operations and political intrigue.
