Code Name Funnel Web

1940, Sydney.

World War II is raging across the globe. But so far, Frances Davies has managed to avoid the firsthand tolls of combat. That all changes when her brother, Thomas, is reported MIA in Singapore.

Frankie meets Leo, a boat-loving immigrant from Italy, and they fall in love. Local attitudes and something more sinister tear them apart. When he is detained as a prisoner-of-war, she can no longer stand by.

Under the direction of a shadowy British intelligence officer, Frankie agrees to become a covert agent for the Resistance, code-named Funnel Web—like the infamous arachnids of her homeland.

Behind enemy lines, Frankie must survive Nazi-occupied Paris, gulag-infested Eastern Europe, and treachery-laden Asia with instructions to ensnare her targets by any means necessary.

To save Thomas and help defeat the Axis powers, Frankie is forced to navigate a gnarled web of duplicitous alliances and dangerous romances—all the while attempting to salvage some semblance of her humanity.
