France, 1944. The closer freedom gets, the more dangerous resistance becomes.
Luc and Colette have survived Antwerp, escaped Colonel Fritz Weber, and built new lives beneath false names in occupied Lyon. Now, posing as a married couple, they help move Allied airmen and refugees toward the safety of Switzerland.
Then Weber arrives.
When a routine escape mission collapses, Luc and Colette are forced east with Jack Callahan, a stranded American fighter pilot whose easy confidence is both useful and dangerous. Their route carries them through bombed rail yards, German checkpoints, and the frozen mountain roads leading to Chamonix, where a hidden resistance network may offer their last chance to cross the border.
But Weber is no longer simply hunting fugitives. He wants the people behind them-the couriers, forgers, safe houses, and ordinary men and women who keep the resistance alive. And as his pursuit closes in, Luc's determination to protect Colette begins to collide with the very thing she has always demanded from him: the right to make her own choices, whatever the cost.
In a world where survival often requires compromise, neither of them can remain untouched by the choices they make.
A Quiet Thing Like Resistance is a sweeping World War II novel of love, loyalty, escape, and moral courage, set against occupied France and the snow-covered French Alps. It continues Luc and Colette's story from A Small Thing Like Murder while standing as a story of resistance, sacrifice, and the difficult line between protecting the people we love and choosing for them.
