Intrigue in Italy

August 1943 and the Battle of Sicily is reaching its climax. Newly promoted Lieutenant Dane Shaw, nicknamed The American Fox by friend and foe alike, is assigned to his first command, one of the worst platoons in the American Army. As he struggles to bring his men up to standard, God continues to mold him into the man He wants Dane to be. Then Dane is ordered to accompany a mysterious Italian Contessa on a mission so secret he is not told what it is. Will he succumb to her web of deceit and murder as so many others have, or will God give him a way of escape?

Sergeant Ted Rodgers is struggling with his Quakerish upbringing. How can he reconcile what he has been taught with the realities of war? And what of the Contessa's maid, Ana? Why does he feel there are secrets hidden behind her brilliant blue eyes?
