In the Shadow of Monsters by Graham Carberry

Set against the backdrop of 1940 as the French army collapses and Britain faces imminent threat, this historical military fiction introduces Niki Frolov, a refugee soldier burdened by a dark past. Recruited by a clandestine British intelligence agency, Frolov is thrust behind enemy lines with a critical mission: to keep the fight alive.

Isolated and relentlessly pursued, he must navigate a nation fractured by war, collaboration, and betrayal. His survival hinges on uniting a disparate group of eccentrics, partisans, and political rivals into a cohesive resistance force dedicated to preserving the dream of a free France. The pursuit is relentless, led by the infamous Butcher of Lyon, Klaus Barbie.
